Burgos Circle Park

In the bustling heart of Bonifacio Global City, Taguig lies a tranquil urban retreat known as Burgos Circle, or Padre Burgos Circle. This delightful roundabout forms part of the Forbes Town Center, a mixed-use development inspired by Bugis Village in Singapore and developed by Megaworld Corporation. Named after the martyred priest José Burgos of Gomburza, Burgos Circle is a symbol of rich heritage, progressive development, and eco-friendliness in the heart of the city.

Since its rise to prominence in 2009 as a culinary hotspot, Burgos Circle and the adjacent Forbes Town has evolved into a popular destination for young professionals. It is a melting pot of international and local dining establishments, boasting a variety of cuisines that could satisfy even the most adventurous palate. Columnist Stephanie Zubiri in 2013 likened Burgos Circle to a "Parisian lifestyle in the heart of Manila", highlighting the area's walkability, alfresco dining options, and diverse array of restaurants, cafes, and bars.

Nestled in the center of Burgos Circle is the enchanting Burgos Park. The park is adorned with a unique sculpture by Reynato Paz Contreras, called The Trees. This 6.5-meter tall bronze-and-brass masterpiece commissioned by the Bonifacio Art Foundation serves as a symbol of life, stability, and nature preservation. Surrounded by a grove of trees, the artwork has become a romantic rendezvous point for couples, adding to the charm and appeal of the park.

The area is pet-friendly, often populated with pet parents walking their dogs. Moreover, it offers a refreshing respite from the bustling city life. Many corporate employees nearby have fond memories of taking breaks and de-stressing in the park's green and serene surroundings.

Notably, the Burgos Circle boasts of a state-of-the-art infrastructure that plays a significant role in preventing flooding in the city. It's built atop a six-story deep, 72-meter wide retarding basin that stores rainwater during heavy downpours and slowly releases it to the creeks leading to Manila Bay.

Experience the delightful contrast of urban lifestyle and nature's greenery and tranquility right at the heart of Bonifacio Global City at Burgos Circle Park.
