LOOK: New Elevated Walkway Links QC Circle to Ninoy Aquino Wildlife Center
Enjoy a rare calm spot above all that Elliptical Road traffic.
Published on Nov 12, 2025
(SPOT.ph) We’ll take any new green space in Metro Manila as a win, and Quezon City just opened an elevated walkway linking two of its biggest parks—the Quezon Memorial Circle and the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center—and it’s a beautiful sight in the middle of all that traffic.
The newly opened Elevated Landscape Promenade can be found along Elliptical Road, giving pedestrians and cyclists a safer, cleaner way to move between the parks without having to weave through six lanes of traffic on the ground.
The promenade isn’t just pedestrian-friendly with benches under shaded spots for resting—it’s also built with cyclists in mind, featuring dedicated ramps alongside the stairs for easier access.
The Quezon City government has also hinted at more facilities to open around the area soon.
So, what exactly is there to see once you've walked the pathway?

Quezon Memorial Circle
Inside Quezon Memorial Circle, visitors can explore open lawns, jogging paths, and gardens like the Cactus Garden and Tropical Garden. The park also features the 66-meter Quezon Memorial Shrine, which houses the remains of former President Manuel L. Quezon, as well as the Quezon City Experience Museum, the Presidential Car Museum, and the recently opened Bahay Modernismo.
Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center
Across the new walkway, the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center offers a quieter, more natural retreat. The 23-hectare park features a lagoon surrounded by trees, botanical gardens, and walking trails. It also serves as a rescue and rehabilitation center for wildlife, housing animals like the Philippine deer, water monitor lizards, and rescued birds.
Entrance to the park costs P30 for adults, P15 for students, and P100 for foreigners, with free admission for senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and children below seven. Pets are more than welcome here, too!
