History
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.
