Kalibo Pastrana Park, a family ‘pasyalan’ anew

Kalibo, Aklan – As the sound of the drums and the melodies of the lyres dies down, the continuing facelift of the very center of the political activities, cultural events and the town’s festivities is bringing more families, students and lovers to stroll along the wide expanse of the now beautiful Kalibo Pastrana Park with its new cobblestone-like pathways and its classic lamp posts bringing nostalgia to the old timers who looks at the park as an integral part of their daily life and enticing younger park visitors.

The Kalibo Pastrana Park is a destination for joggers, athletes and basketball players in the morning and a favorite ‘pasyalan’ for lovers on a date, families, friends to hang around and crowds whenever there are scheduled variety shows.

"The continuing beautification of the Pastrana Park that was began last year is based on our Pastrana Park Development Plan of which some of the phases is implemented through the funding of our Congressman, Joeben Miraflores, where the most recent, after the installation of lamp posts, is the improvement of the cobblestone-like walkways and pathways and the perimeter fences," says Kalibo Mayor Raymar Rebaldo.

The new face of the Pastrana Park is complimented with its widely lit sections to discourage troublemakers and vandalism and the roving patrol of policemen not to mention the close proximity of the Kalibo Police Station which is just across the street. Terence Toriano
