Very nice and safe chill place for jogging and strolling, greeneries and plants are well monitored, maintenance and security is highly visible. Place is fully functional. Found zumba sessions held randomly or as scheduled for the day.

The place is one of the historical landmarks found in the queen city of the south Cebu. If you're athletic, then the place is perfect for jogging, running, and the like. As of the moment, since the health protocol is still in, no one is allowed yet to loiter around the vicinity.

One of the best escape against the hustle and bustle of the city. Daytime may prove hot but night time is just perfect. During this time where Cebu is slowly opening up, there were only enough people spending their moments here. I like it that way since its peaceful.

Nice place for rest, a lot of benches - good place for short walking

Wide open area for recreation situated near the historical downtown of cebu and is near other historical landmarks in the area. Suitable place for anyone loooking for a place to slow down in a busy city. Place can still be improved by a lot of measure in multiple areas.

Plaza Independencia is one of the most significant sites in the history of Cebu. It is a symbol of independence and freedom from all the conquerors that tried to take over the island of Cebu. Its century old trees are witnesses to what the plaza/park had been through during the colonial days. The changes of its name emulated its role in the history of Cebu. The park was called Plaza de Armas in the early 1600 and served as a public square used as military training and parade grounds. It later had its expansion to reach nearby properties of the Cathedral of Cebu and was called Plaza Mayor. During the Spanish era, its name was changed to Plaza Maria Cristina in honor of the prevailing queen. Its name was changed again to Plaza Libertad during the American Colonial Period to acknowledge the liberty from the Spanish rule. When all the colonizers left the country and the land has attained its true freedom, it finally had its name Plaza Independencia. In 2006, when a tunnel connecting Cebu City to South Road Properties (SRP) was under construction, pre-hispanic human bones and some earthenwares were uncovered during the excavation.

Nice play to relax and hangout with your family. Many food stalls during Sinulog in and outside the area.

Very beautiful place. Well kept and clean. Good place to spend picnic with your families and love ones.

The plaza and fort are nicely decorated at night. There is only one restaurant in the area.

Plaza is wide with enough bench for tourist. There were some vendors near the area, jollibee is walking distance incase you want to eat aftee visiting the plaza and fort san pedro

A heritage place free to walk, chill, hangout with friends, jog, or even hold events right at the heart of Cebu City. Within the plaza, is Fort San Pedro.

Open park, Good for morning and afternoon jog

This park is the most beautiful in Cebu City. Over the years it has been well maintained. Great to visit at night with all the lights amidst pandemic.

Relaxing place and safe.. can chill2 and very cleaned and bsta mkapawala sad ug stress..

A very nature place found in the city. This place i consider a breathing space where you breath fresh air under big acacia trees and sorrounded with lush vegetation. During this pandemic i frequently visited this place to do exercise in the morning. One thing i noticed here is the cleanliness if the comfort rooms when you need it.

Beautiful and clean medium-sized park near the heart of the city.

I recently visited Plaza Independencia in Cebu City, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The park's historical significance, scenic views, and well-manicured landscapes make it a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Cebu City. Walking around the park and exploring Fort San Pedro was an amazing experience, and it provided a unique insight into the city's colonial past. The park's proximity to the ocean and other landmarks also added to its charm and made it an ideal spot for taking photos and relaxing. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Plaza Independencia to anyone traveling to Cebu City. It's a beautiful and tranquil oasis in the heart of the city that offers a glimpse into its rich history and cultural heritage.

It was calm and quiet when we got there. The place will close at 10:00 PM. You can park your motorcycle inside, near the benches. There are lights since it is the Christmas season. Good place to hang out with your loved one.

It was a perfect place for family bonding ever since. I’ve witnessed its transformation since I was a kid and now that I have a kid. Not all of its story were great but all are worth it. This place is somehow the heart of the City or of Cebu (for me). It carries so much memories to everyone either locals or foreigners.

Love the decors there, you'll surely love to take pics every corner🤞🏼♥️

Good for everyone .... For all activities .... With fam And friends And most of all your lover 😘😍

Old but gold! This historical plaza of Cebu City has a wide area & well developed facilities perfect for recreational activities; big old trees for shading; lawns for picnicking, playing, & stuffs like that. Well maintained area and decent parking spaces. Located near the city hall and port areas. Fort San Pedro can also be found inside this plaza.

We had our baby's pre bday photoshoot in plaza. The place is perfect. It is well maintained and has lots of plants and trees. It has a huge area. Strolling there is fun.

Go to park by students who wants to passby their time and also practicing school activities. If you are up to Bohol, Camotes or going to nearby islands of Cebu and waiting for your boarding time. This is a good spot to passby hours and you can still sea around by foot most of the historical sites: Fort San Pedro, Magellan Cross, Sto. NINO church, Cathedral Church, Cebu Museum,

Very Windy and Christmas themed. Good chilling alternative for fuente

It's such a a nice park me and my dad went there to walk around and exercise but sadly some people do still leave their trashes unattended, but thanks to the workers who cleaned the park it's still a beautiful place to hang out

This is the finest option if you're seeking for a cheap spot to go on a date. Most college or high school students practice their rehearsal activities here.

A place where most students sit and review. Before the pandemic, after visiting sr. Sto. Niño, we want to sit here and relax for a while.

So wide and cozy for relax on weekends

Great outdoor place to relax, kill time, do fitness activities or have fun with family and friends. Or in my case, eat FREE pancakes as I went there for the annual Dutch Pancake Event. Delish!

Peaceful place to visit and the environment friendly 💗

This place became our resting place after participating in the Grand Procession in celebration of the culminating activity for the 500 Years of Christianity in the Philippines. That time, Plaza Independencia, provided me peace, relaxation and appreciation to the beauty of the place. A simple beauty that caters to the needs of lovers, family, community like us and our wards, and others. Cleanliness is commendable and there is a good space for everyone. No entrance fees. Vendors sells near the gate only. It can be improved...more.

The place is nice and peaceful perfect for jogging 🙂❤

This is Cebu city's one and only public park. Many people would come here to rehearse specially the dancers, some visitors you see here are couples having there date. What government/police should pay their attention to are the street dwellers. Since the plaza is accessible to the public 24hours, there should be a police outpost every corner and more lamp post should be provided to lighten up the area and not leave a corner dark cause any crime can happen like being pointed by snatchers.

A very good day to visit. November 30 is Bonifacio Day, a legal holiday in the country, and you can find Ka Andres' statue in the plaza. Clean and well lighted. Could still be improved, needs more seats for people who want to relax, and the main gate entrance (across Trans Asia) gets flooded when it rains.

Well maintained and just open in time for thr celebration of World Bicyle Day after a year of closure due to the pandemic.
