Greenbelt Park, Manila

This is a pocket of peace and quiet in the very heart of Makati's busy Ayala Center . Bordered by the Ayala Museum on one side and a string of eateries on another, Greenbelt Park draws a mixture of office workers, young lovers and churchgoers. The tranquil atmosphere is at times enhanced by the heavenly sounds of praying and singing that emanate from a circular church where Catholic Mass is said at certain hours. It is a very pleasant place for a breath of cool air in the mid-afternoon or evening.
