The Only Rowing You Might Handle

You could practically spend the whole day in a boat in this lagoon for Php80. Before you ask, here's why:

1. This boat ride gives you marvelous city views, where the trees stand as tall as buildings.

2. Knowing how crowded Baguio is most of the time, this is your ultimate time-alone zone.

3. Thirsty or hungry after 3 hours of paddling? No worries--- there are probably 2 or 3 boats around that have been rented by hawkers. Your only problem now is a restroom.

4. Don't know how to row? There are foot-paddled boats (like the ones in the photo) that can easily be maneuvered even by the likes of Paris, Britney, and Lindsay.

5. If you support this lagoon, you justify its continued existence in a city that is pressured to develop every usable square inch (including all of Burnham Park) into a highly commercial area (i.e., theme park instead of a nature park.)

Don't be a wet blanket. Take your family to this place even once in your lifetime and convince Baguio city that the Burnham Park (including the lagoon) is wonderful just the way it is.
