About
Burnham Park is a historic urban park in the heart of Baguio City, in the province of Benguet in the Philippines. It covers 32.84 hectares and sits on Jose Abad Santos Drive, so it is easy to reach from the city centre. The park is also known as Burnham Baguio Park.
It takes its name from the American architect Daniel Burnham, who designed the original plan of the city. Walking through its grounds gives a sense of that planned, open layout, set within the busy streets of Baguio.
What to expect
- Boating: the park has boating facilities, a pleasant way to spend an afternoon on its water.
- Picnic areas: open spaces suited to a relaxed meal outdoors.
- Recreational spaces: room to walk, stroll and enjoy the outdoors at an easy pace.
Planning your visit
Burnham Park suits a slow visit: a stroll in the morning, a picnic at midday, or a boat ride before heading back into town. Because it lies in the centre of the city, it pairs well with a wider day exploring Baguio's streets and the other sights nearby. For current details, you can call the park on +63 74 442 7014.
