Iloilo River Esplanade Tourism

The Iloilo River Esplanade is a serene public park located alongside the Iloilo River in Iloilo City, Philippines. It's a project that transformed the riverside into a beautiful and vibrant area for leisure, health, and connection with nature. Spanning a length of several kilometers, the Esplanade features a well-maintained pathway for jogging, walking, and cycling, interspersed with landscaped gardens and resting areas. The development started in 2012 and has been continuously expanded since then, providing locals and tourists alike with a refreshing urban escape. The Esplanade is also home to various establishments where visitors can dine and enjoy the local cuisine while appreciating the river views. At night, the Esplanade is softly illuminated, creating a tranquil atmosphere for evening strolls. It is recognized not only as a place for recreation but also for its contribution to the city’s efforts in river rehabilitation and urban renewal. The Esplanade hosts events such as festivals, concerts, and fitness activities that foster community engagement.
