Who would thought that no one needs to go far to spend time with nature. In East Fairview, Quezon City, there's a place called La Mesa Ecopark. The park's mission is to spread environmental awareness through education and advocacy. It is a venue that provides outdoor activities and a true forest experience.

An entrance fee of P50 per person above 3 feet are paid before entering the park. 3 feet below and Quezon City senior citizens with valid ID are free. Other Quezon City residents with valid proof are discounted. All revenues generated by La Mesa Ecopark are used for the continuous preservation and protection of the La Mesa Watershed, which is the primary source of drinking water of Metro Manila.
As soon as we enter the park we were awed and amazed by the tall trees and plants. Everywhere we look is green. Everything is green. It felt like we were in a province, only paved walkway. We almost forgot that we were just in Quezon City.

A lot of open cabana's are scattered near the pool and fishing pond area. Cottage or cabana rental is P500 a day. Table and chairs (1 table & 4 chairs/set) rental is P120 a day. We chose to rent a tree house cottage because it was strikingly hot when we were there, and the kids are with us.
The whole day was spent by eating, fishing, and swimming. By the end of the day, the children were very tired. They were all sleeping on our way home.
