The local government of Pasay City has spearheaded the opening of the #GreenGreenGreen Program and Roxas Boulevard Promenade Light Park at Le Pavillion, EDSA corner Macapagal Boulevard last Thursday.
The launch was attended by Pasay Mayor Imelda Calixto-Rubiano along with Senator Loren Legarda, Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar and Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah Pangandaman.
Also joining the opening were Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) acting chair Atty. Don Artes, Federal Land Inc. chair Alfred Ty, Philippine Reclamation Authority chair Alexander Lopez and other local officials.
The program under the Local Government Support Fund aims to fix and beautify open public spaces with botanical gardens, bike lanes, pedestrian walkways, sports facilities and recreational trails.
The Roxas Boulevard Promenade is part of the broader Adopt-a-Park initiative for Pasay City.
The first two segments of the park, which are the light park and field offices, are now open to the public. Area 1 or the field offices will house satellite offices of MMDA and PRA to ensure proper management, operations, and maintenance of the promenade.
Adjacent to the satellite offices is Area 2 or the Light Park which features various lighting attractions and installations such as pocket seating area, gravity lighting, tunnel lights, bamboo pole lighting, and dandelion lights, designed to create a lively and imaginative atmosphere, making it an engaging and enjoyable place for children and families.
