BAGUIO CITY -- The city government here needs more than P685.5 million
to pursue development of Wright Park, one of the premier tourist destinations
in the country’s Summer Capital.
City Planning and Development Office’s architect Donna R. Tabangin said funds will be used to improve Wright Park with new and innovative attractions.
Earlier, Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong tasked the CPDO to prepare a comprehensive master development plan for Wright Park as a blueprint for the proposed overall development of the park which could be done even through phases depending on the availability of the funds.

Under the proposed Wright Park development plan, the
proposed preservation zone or the so-called biodiversity area needs funding of
more than P117 million, conservation
zone that includes the gazebo, rotunda, pool of pines among others – P136
million, recreational zone that includes al fresco dining, picnic grounds, lawn
or open field among others – P79.3 million, visitors services and facilities
zone that includes horse stables – P84.1 million and parking, commercial stalls
– P210.6 million and access zone that includes the existing trails and
sidewalks among others – P58.5 million.
Development of the park by the local government is in anticipation of resumption of tourism-related activities.
Initially, the city got some P20 million from the annual budget of the public works department for the improvement of the drainage system in Wright Park while another P30 million was committed by House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco to be included in next year’s budget for the implementation of feasible projects to further enhance the said tourist destination.
The Wright Park development plan will be used by the local government as menu for government agencies to choose the projects they could fund in close coordination with the City Environment and Parks Management Office (CEPMO) to ensure that any work implemented in the various zones conforms with the plan.
City officials are hopeful these projects in the Wright Park development plan will help in the gradual and safe revival of the local tourism industry once tourism-related activities. - Dexter A. See
