Greenbelt Park, located in the heart of the commercial district (and shopping mall!), is the best place to surround yourself with beauty and get some quiet time in the midst of all the holiday shopping frenzy. Sculptural works of various local artists embrace the lagoon within this three hectare oasis. There are over fifteen species of palm trees including Royal, Triangle, Date and Foxtail Palms...just to name a few! One can also find over twenty-five tree varieties consisting of Acacia, Red Ficus, Ponytail, Gmelina, several species of Fig, Fire and Butterfly Trees. The twice awarded six-themed tropical gardens, The Orchid Garden being one of my faves, received international acclaim for its landscape design.

Wow! A refreshing perspective on Greenbelt. I always saw it as a very VERY crowded shopping mall. I did recognize that the designers tried to make it an oasis but I never really looked at the details. Thanks!
