Marikina Cityhood Park

One of the many parks here in Marikina and is also one of the City’s landmarks is the Cityhood Park.

The park has a Spanish inspired facade that resembles a church. It has 12 bronze cup-shaped bells imported from Italy and have been scheduled to play a melody every hour from 8:00AM to 6:00PM and can be heard within 700 meters.

At the top middle of the structure is a big clock which according to former Marikina Mayor Marides Fernando is a symbol “to encourage Marikeños to be conscious of time. Being productive is one important attribute that we want Marikeños to be known for.”
