The city of Makati resonates with the spirit of life. It is a largely urbanized city that is adorned with thousands of shops, malls and commercial structures. But within this myriad of tall buildings nature has its place. Makati is a city that boasts some of the most beautiful parks. The lush greenery depicted in these parks instantly whisks you out of the typical crowd and noise of the city life. They provide a safe haven; a getaway for people to just step out of the hustle and bustle of the city and simple relax amidst the sounds of leaves rustling for the breeze and soothing birds chirping overhead.

Among the many parks in Makati, the Legaspi Active Park is one of the most popular. Situated in the heart of the city, it is easily accessible from nearly any short stay apartment Manila has. Those choosing such apartments like the Ascott Makati are primarily those who want to take their time and explore Makati. Experiencing all the wonders of the Makati city life at times can become overwhelming and even exhausting. At such times parks like Legaspi Active Park is a welcome getaway to unwind, refresh and rejuvenate.

Like the other parks in Makati such as the Jaime Velasquez Park, Washington Sycip Park and Ayala Triangle Gardens, the Legaspi exhibits an ever green setting. It is however, much smaller than these other parks. Regardless, there is an excellent track for jogging which invites plenty of health conscious joggers every day. From nearly 4am in the morning to much after 10pm a night, you will find some person or the other jogging away in Legaspi. This in turn has earned the park the reputation of safety and people feel confident spending time in Legaspi at whatever time they please. A day out in Legaspi is the perfect treat during a busy holiday in Makati.
