Clark parade ground to re-develop into tourism center

The Clark Development Corporation (CDC) said it is planning to transform the CDC Parade Grounds into a “melting pot” of various tourism-related activities.

CDC president Felipe Antionio Remollo said the CDC Parade Grounds has been a favorite venue for many tourism and sporting events. He also revealed that the state-owned corporation has allotted P30 million for various refurbishment works inside the Freeport, which includes the Parade Grounds.

Among the refurbishment works intended for the 20-hectare Parade Grounds include lighting and illumination of its 2.3-kilometer pathway and the construction of a bike lane.
Remollo added that the CDC is also planning to convert the residential area along the stretch of the Parade Grounds opposite the historic barn houses into “quaint restaurants” like American-style diners and alfresco cafés.
