In a city notoriously short on greenery, Rizal Park (also known as the Luneta) is everything from early morning jogging circuit to romantic twilight rendezvous for lovers. This was where the colonial-era glitterati use to promenade after church every Sunday. These days, promenading is out and making a fast buck is in. On Sunday afternoons, the park is overrun by hawkers selling everything from balloons to barbecued bananas. Apart from its grassy expanse, the park also has a planetarium, dozens of fountains, an amphitheatre, a children's playground, skating rink and Chinese and Japanese gardens. At the bay end of the park, close to the Manila Hotel, is the Rizal memorial and Rizal's execution site, where you can walk in his final footsteps - literally - just follow the painted footsteps on the path. At the Taft Avenue end is a gigantic pond with a three-dimensional map of the Philippines.
