10 Photos from Cebu City’s Most Crowded Children’s Park

When the M7.2 earthquake hit Cebu in 2013, the Pasil Fish Market was one of the most badly damaged structures in the city. With the integrity of the building greatly affected, the building was abandoned and eventually torn down.

Three years later, the lot where the fish market once stood is now home to one of the biggest recreational parks for children in Cebu. A project of the city government (with the help of partner contractors,) the Pasil Recreation and Children’s Park not only has swings, slides, and see-saws, it will also (soon) have facilities for skateboarding, sepak takraw, volleyball, tennis, chess, and other sports.

TheCebuano dropped by the park earlier today to take some photos of its most important features and see whether or not the project’s ‘target audience’ (the kids) really loved it.

So, ladies and gentlemen, here are ten photos which prove that the Pasil Recreation and Children’s Park could very well be the city’s most crowded children’s park. Ever.
