context_page_description: Washington SyCip Park is a privately owned public park near Greenbelt mall in Legaspi Village, Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. The park opened in 2006, and was named after Filipino accountant and banker Washington SyCip. In addition to many indigenous tropical trees and plants, the park contains gazebos, benches with quotes by Sycip, sculptures and a koi pond.
  The park is open daily from 06:00 to 22:00 PST. It is a no-smoking, no pet zone.
context_section_description: A number of sculptures by Filipino sculptor and artist Impy Pilapil can be found in the park. These include:
  Wishing Stone - a wishing stone, with a twig quill and water reservoir, which people can write their wishes on.
  Faith - an obelisk-like white, stone sculpture with a pointed edge aiming for the heavens.
  Entry - a Stonehenge-style gate made of white stone.
  Sungka - a traditional Filipino board game played with shells.
  The Mangrove Nature Embrace - a colourful framework, with blue as the dominant colour, made of steel pipes.
  Stone turtles: - a Chinese symbol of long life, stone turtles can be found at the northern and southern entrances to the park.
  Giant urns: - giant stone urns flank one gateway of the park, probably a throwback to SyCip’s childhood years in Shanghai. In his biography, SyCip recounted that similar huge jars were found in his family garden and he used to peek at the fish swimming inside them.
