Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife

It's been so long the last time I wrote something for my online journal. I've just been to bored or busy to write. I really miss blogging... so much!
Anyway, one Sunday, we (my bro, sis, hubby and I) went to Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife. It is located somewhere at the end of Quezon Avenue all the way to the end of North Avenue. Entrance fee is 15pesos per person *if I remember it correctly*. One part of it has a mini-zoo where there are , osome wild animals and the other part, I mean the big part is the park. Years back when I was doing some research about Metro Manila's zoo I came across with this place, but haven't got the chance to check it out, just until a Sunday last June.
The park could've been a hit only if the government will increase it's fund and give more time on making the place looks better. This might be a great place for kids to visit and for family to spend their weekend with. The zoo is kinda untidy, the part where animals kept are also stinky, there are few name plates for each kind and some of it are wrong. the Zoo is more of an aviary since most of their animals are birds. the zoo have musang, turtles, rabbits, a lot of monkeys, hawks, eagles, crocs, etc. there's also an aquarium part where there are few fishes donated by people.
There's a portion of the park where many people planted new trees, this is a good sign knowing people actually care about the park. There are also many signs where you'll be reminded to keep the place clean and green, throw trash on it's proper place. There is also a Lagoon, the water may not be clean and blue but there are no trash, it's really nice to hung out and just sit back at this side of the park especially when you are already tired from walking. There's also a Fishing area, with a nice Pavilion. Pavilion's are for rent for parties and other events, this is according to the guards.
We spend almost our entire afternoon walking at the park. It's nice to know that there is still a place where you can just walk around the park and smell the fresh air from many trees. I just hope the park will always have it's place on our city, especially at the times like this where everything is almost already computerized and pollution is part of our daily lives.
Just a few tips if you planned on visiting the place:
bring a cap or a hat as the sun is hot and humid during afternoons.
apply off lotion, the zoo-part have lots of insects and mosquitoes.
bring camera as there are nice place to just point and shoot.
