Niño Acuino Park and Wildlife Centre was once part of QuezТерритория парка была уменьшена до 64,5 га. The park's territory was reduced to 64.5 hectares. Then another part of the park was given to the Philippine High School of Science and the National Government Center. Today, Niño Acuino Park covers only 22.7 hectares.
The park was opened to the public in 1970, and in 1982 restoration work was carried out on its territory, during which a craft village, a fishing village, a stadium and recreation rooms were built. At the same time, water supply equipment and a lighting system were installed. In 1986, the park was named in honour of Senator Benigno Acuino, who fought against the dictatorship and died for his ideas in the same year.
The park can be accessed through several entrances - such as the pedestrianised Walkway that runs along Avenue Quezon and emerges onto a wide tarmac road. At the end of it stands the park's administration building, and in front of it stands the a bust of Niño Acuino. To the right are two giant cages that house rare Filipino which house rare Philippine eagles, parrots and cockatoos. Walking down the winding path to the right, you'll find yourself in front of the Aqua House with several aquariums with freshwater fish. Behind it, a very rare animal lives in a large cage - a bearded pig from the island of Palawan.
If you walk further north, you'll find yourself at the Bureau of Conservation and Wildlife and Wildlife Conservation and Wildlife Rescue Centre. The bureau is authorised to collect rare species taken from illegal traders and owners. These animals are nursed back to health and then and then returned to the wild. The centre is home to birds and reptiles, giant snakes and various mammals.
On the territory of the park you can have a picnic, find playgrounds for children and even a huge artificial lake. On the shores of this lake, against a backdrop of lush vegetation, are traditional Filipino houses that can be rented for a period of time.
