Rizal Park, also known as the Luneta (or "little moon"), is an oasis of greenery in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Manila. Here you will see people strolling, families having picnics, people playing chess, and in the early morning, joggers and tai-chi practitioners. There are free concerts on Sundays.
At one end of the park (near the children's playground), you can catch great views of magnificent sunsets over Manila Bay.
Rizal Park is 58 hectares in size and is located at the northern end of Roxas Boulevard. At the western end of this park is the Rizal Monument, built in remembrance of the national hero of the Philippines, José Rizal, who was executed near here by the Spanish colonial authorities in 1896.
