Escape into the tranquility of Sawangan Park, a waterfront haven tucked along Legazpi City’s vibrant coastline. This welcoming public space offers a picturesque blend of lush landscaping, expansive Albay Gulf views, and a variety of amenities designed for relaxation and recreation. Unwind with a leisurely stroll along the shoreline esplanade, or soak up the sun on a park bench while admiring the majestic Mayon Volcano rising from the distance. For those seeking a more active experience, challenge your friends to a game of beach volleyball on the sand court, or get your heart rate going with the outdoor fitness equipment in the senior citizen’s wellness area. Sawangan Park caters to all, making it a favorite escape for locals and tourists alike.

Sawangan Park stands as a testament to Legazpi City’s progressive development under Mayor Noel Rosal. Its creation embodies a vision for the city’s future, focusing on strengthening the economic climate, tourism industry, livability, and infrastructure. This vibrant waterfront park, spanning 1.72 hectares, celebrates the city’s spirit through the clever transformation of a reclaimed area. The park’s name, “Sawangan,” honors Legazpi City’s past. Derived from an old Bikolano word meaning “to hang” or “to tie,” it reflects the park’s location – a former docking area for boats. Interestingly, Sawangan Park occupies a reclaimed area nestled picturesquely between the majestic Kapuntukan Hill, also known as the Sleeping Lion, and the mouth of the Macabalo River.
