Quezon Memorial Circle and QC Elevated Promenade
About
This is Quezon City's big green heart! Quezon Memorial Circle has the tall memorial shrine, a lagoon, jogging paths, a weekend car-free Sunday and a free retro museum, Bahay Modernismo. In November 2025 the city opened the elevated promenade, a leafy, LED-lit walkway that links the Circle to the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center in one easy stroll. Bring a mat for a picnic, rent a bike, or just walk the loop at sunset. In 2026 the Circle also got a new open field and dog park. Tip: go early in the morning or late afternoon to beat the heat, and try Sunday for the car-free activities.
Dry until sunset (5:33 PM). Good time to go!
