Located in Barangay Gogon, this 1.3-hectare park was originally built during the martial law years as \"Imelda Park\" and was refurbished and reopened in 2022 with modern amenities for visitors of all ages.\n\nThe park features a dancing fountain and water cascades with colorful changing lights, which are especially beautiful at night. There is a children's playground with swings, see-saws, and slides, a basketball court and skating rink for teens and young adults, and health equipment for seniors. Joggers and bikers also have dedicated facilities for their activities. One unique feature is the park's pavement made of paver stones, which some fitness enthusiasts believe has a therapeutic effect when walked on barefoot. The park also has an inscription called \"The Lovers\" sculpted by National Artist Eduardo Castrillo.\n\nKalayaan Park is part of the local government's Open Green Spaces Program and aims to support tourism while providing livelihood opportunities for residents through food stalls and small businesses. The park is open year-round and free Wi-Fi is available for visitors. Whether for family bonding, exercise, or simply enjoying a peaceful walk, Kalayaan Park is a welcoming spot in Legazpi City","category":["spots"],"municipality":"Legazpi City","geo_lat":13.153893396148971,"geo_lng":123.73879635205594,"activity_tags":["Walking","Jogging","Biking","Basketball","Skating","Photography","Sightseeing","Dancing Fountain Viewing","Children's Playground","Picnicking","Zumba","Relaxing","Family Bonding","People Watching"],"contact_info":{"phone":"+63 9000000000","email":"albaytourist@gmail.com","website":"https://albaytourist.com/"},"social_links":{"facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585599752475","instagram":"https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585599752475"},"pricing_lowest":0,"operating_hours":"24/7","rating":4.2,"is_premium":false,"view_count":0,"fullURLMap":"","fileSizeMB":58040,"pictureCredits":"https://www.facebook.com/","creditsName":"A.
