Formerly a military training ground, decades past have turned this public park into the city's busiest public market...

This place used to be a park, a freedom park no less, where people could meet and assemble without fear of dispersion or warrantless arrests (so the old-timers who grew old in the shadow of its history say). Today, it is a sprawling city landmark, of fair trade shops in the traditional sense of the word. Looking for handcrafts from Bicol, or handbags from Leyte, carvings from Mindoro, or just about any Philippine native product from raw materials that meets your fancy without the exorbitant add-on prices by (super)mall traders and middlemen, come to Freedom Park.

Locals commonly known this as Carbon

  • Nindota diay sa Freedom park sauna noh? layo ra kaayo sa karon nga hugaw, baho, samok.
  • nowadays the place freedom park is not a park of freedom anymore; hence the people utilising this placea are not particular for the cleanliness and the hygienic aspects ,our local authority should impliment laws and ordinances to preserve our heritage parks.4e
