context_page_description: The Makati Poblacion Park, often shortened to Poblacion Park, is an urban linear park along the south bank of the Pasig River in Metro Manila, the Philippines. As its name suggests, it is located in the Poblacion village of Makati and was formerly known as Casa Hacienda Park. The park is the largest of three public parks in Makati's old downtown area situated at the site of a former plantation house. It is operated by the Department of Environmental Services Parks and Green Division of the City Government of Makati. Together with the Makati Poblacion Linear Park, the park has revitalized around 0.25 kilometers of Makati Poblacion's waterfront between the Makati-Mandaluyong Bridge and Rockwell Center.
context_section_description: The Makati Poblacion Park is 2,876 square meters (30,960 sq ft) in size and stretches along the Pasig River from Zamora Street by the Poblacion Covered Court and ends up across from the Poblacion Fire Sub-Station. The roughly three-block riverside park bordered by J. P. Rizal Avenue to the south sits in the historic Heritage District of Makati located just across from the Museo ng Makati. This neo-classical building with oyster shell window shutters built in 1918 at a plaza known as Plaza Trece de Agosto (now an extension of J.P. Rizal Avenue) served as Makati's presidencia or municipal hall until 1961. The San Pedro Macati Church stands about 300 meters (980 ft) to the south at the opposite end of Dolores M. Rivera Street (former Don Pedro P. Roxas Street) at another plaza known as Plaza Cristo Rey. The park is also near the barangay hall of Poblacion.
  Poblacion Park features an amphitheater, children's playground, stone benches, gazeboes, multipurpose sheds and solar lamp posts. The adjacent Poblacion Covered Court is a basketball court that also serves as a venue for local gatherings. A 75-meter (246 ft) extension of the park eastwards to Rockwell Center was inaugurated in June 2016 by the then-Mayor of Makati Romulo Peña. This extension called Poblacion Linear Park and designated as an Environmental Preservation Area was built by the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission on more than 3 meters of existing easement along the Pasig River at a cost of ₱4.5 million.
