Looking for a park where you can run and play with the kids on a lazy weekend afternoon? Well, you don’t have to look far since the Queen City of the South has its own park where you can jog, kick a ball around, or simply enjoy nature at its best. D’ Family Park was established within a 20-hectare property of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District in Talamban.

The park is a first of its kind in Cebu City and as originally the concept of a former general manager of MCWD, Fr. Francisco G. Silva. The concept of the park initially emerged in 1993 and construction began through the help of Congressman Raoul del Mar in 1996. The park opened its doors to the public on May 8, 1999 and is currently being maintained and managed by MCWD.

The pavilion and multi-function clubhouse of the park is suitable for events such as birthday parties, company gatherings and celebrations, among others. Joggers can also take advantage of the jogger’s path inside the park. The field of the park is big enough for a small pickup game of football, flag football or rugby. The place also has a swimming pool for children and adults, but proper swimming attire should be worn when using the pool.
