Burnham Park is the heart of Baguio City. Almost all major developments of the city like commercial centers, the Baguio Cathedral, the City Hall and the City Market have risen around this popular tourist spot.
The park has acquired its name from its planner Daniel Hudson Burnham, who is also responsible for the original plan for Baguio City. According to GoBaguio.com website, much of Burnham’s original design has remained along the years although some improvements to it have been undertaken. Burnham Park has retained its glory as one of the most famous park in the country. Burnham Park has been famous for its man made lagoon with boats for hire, the Children's Playground, the Skating Rink, the Rose Garden, the Orchidarium and the Igorot Garden. You can see there the Melvin Jones Grandstand, the Athletic Bowl, a Picnic Grove, the Japanese Peace Tower, Pine Trees of the World and the Sunshine Park as well.
