Rizal Park was built as a tribute to nationalist hero José Rizal, who was executed here in 1896. Today it is a more tranquil place with a monument to the hero at the centre, as well as Japanese and Chinese gardens. Open-air concerts are held throughout the year.
To the locals, Rizal Park is known by its previous name, Luneta Park. As well as the gardens, it has restaurants, playgrounds, dozens of fountains, a grand stadium, an observatory, an open-air concert hall, an artists' sanctuary and a light-and-sound theatre.
