Ayala Triangle Gardens

A lawn park ringed by Makati towers

Hours: Daily 6am-10pm
Tickets: Free
Address: Ayala Avenue, the triangle park beside Paseo de Roxas, Makati

Between the glass towers a lawn and old trees appear out of nowhere. At lunch office workers eat sandwiches on the benches, and the open-air restaurant strip along the edge fills up each evening. The loop path takes minutes to walk, which makes it a handy breather between malls. Around the holidays the trees light up for a nightly show.
