(SPOT.ph) Large open spaces for R&R are hard to come by in Metro Manila, so we're over the moon whenever we hear about a new one popping up. Whether that's a new paw park, an amphitheater, or a nice open-air sanctuary to sit and reflect, if it's open to the public, we're all here for it—but what if it's all those three and more?
Good news, city folk: SM Mall of Asia just unveiled its latest expansion, a massive open-air entertainment park that's free for everyone to visit. Here's what you'll find when you go to MOA Sky at the SM Mall of Asia.

Check out MOA Sky, Mall of Asia's newest rooftop green space:
MOA Sky is Mall of Asia's latest addition to its lineup of entertainment and leisure zones in Pasay. Located at the top of its main mall, this over 60,000 square-meter open-air space houses the MOA Sky Amphitheater, the MOA Paw Park, the MOA Sanctuary, and the MOA Football Pitch, offering a free public area for rest and recreation to every type of mall-goer. Whether you're looking for a place to exercise or an escape from the commercial chaos of the mall, MOA Sky's slew of attractions are waiting to be explored.
MOA Sky Amphitheater
The MOA Sky Amphitheater is at the heart of the massive complex. This 3,200-square-meter open space is perfect for hosting concerts, fashion shows, and other open-air performances.
When not in use for events, the Sky Amphitheater can be a place where families can picnic and lounge while enjoying the cool breeze from the bay area. You can join organized fitness classes, run around with your pets, blow bubbles, and just enjoy it like any other park. Look around for the many four-meter-tall Zodiac sculptures scattered around the area. These sculptures, made by Filipino-American artist Jefre, feature QR codes with personalized horoscopes.
MOA Paw Park
Who says only hoomans get all the fun when you go to a mall? If you're the type to bring your furbaby to the mall, then a stop at the MOA Paw Park is a must. This three-part doggie playground features an off-leash zone, an obstacle park, and a dedicated space for your pups to do their "business."
Entrance to the MOA Paw Park is free. Just make sure to join the SM Super Pets Club and register your pup so they can access the different facilities of the Paw Park. Note that all pets must have updated vaccines prior to gaining access to the park.
MOA Sanctuary
This portion of MOA Sky Park offers a respite when the trip to Pasay becomes too overwhelming. As its name implies, the MOA Sanctuary is an oasis of peace and tranquility in the park. It's a small, air-conditioned space for prayer and reflection with a quiet, open-air garden in the center. Here, you can sit back and relax as you drown out the noise of the outside without having to leave the mall just yet.
MOA Football Pitch
MOA Sky's last main feature is another specialized venue, this time for sports. The MOA Football Pitch is a FIFA-certified football field where over 1,800 viewers can watch professional and amateur teams kick the ball. This full-sized field is rated to host college games, FC matches, and even international tournaments.
Aside from these main attractions, MOA Sky's Level 4 access area has a one-kilometer fitness track where you can sprint, jog, or walk for fitness while enjoying the rich orange and red Manila sunset.
Scattered all around MOA Sky are a bunch of view decks, benches, and photo zones where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Manila Bay and its world-famous sunset, as well as the occasional fireworks shows at night.
