The amphitheater at RAVE of Pasig
It’s funny sometimes that destinations within the neighborhood can be off our radar at times. I guess it’s the same case with the locals in the provinces. We admire places and their attractions, however for them, they rub it off as they see them everyday. Same case here in Pasig where I live, I never thought our RAVE Pasig Rainforest Park has been getting a lot of interest from the city folks especially this summer vacation.
RAVE of Pasig has an impressive Waterpark
From Pasig Rainforest to RAVE
The last time I wrote about this Pasig Rainforest Park was back in 2006. I guess it’s about time to update a few information about this humble oasis in the metro. The Pasig Rainforest Park first opened in 2003 as gift to Pasigueños by Mayor Eusebio. The park is free for everyone with minimal entrance fees to some of the park facilities. About 3 years ago, they rebranded to RAVE which stands for Rainforest Adventure Experience and along with it, aside from the usual mini-zoo and park attraction they added adventure activities like a maze, wall climbing, bike parks, zipline and a boating lagoon.

Rainforest in the City
I had the luxury of having this rainforest park in the neighborhood. It only takes a 15-minute bike ride from my place to reach the area. There are bike racks at the entrance to secure my ride. I often go here as well since I visit the Fitness Center for the gym located at the center of the park. Sometimes I just go here to read under the tree shade as the park has in abundance which I really like. I also took my little nephews and nieces here and they really had a grand time every visit, from the petting zoo, train ride, the playground and the water park. The RAVE water park is really impressive. They have several pools that can cater for adults and children, large slides and an Olympic-size lap pool which unfortunately at that time are used by the park for swimming lessons as I would have wanted to do some laps there.
