Description

Davao Baywalk and Park, a.k.a. David’s Edge, Seawall, or Queensland Park is a beachfront park that commands a stunning view of the early sun rising in the morning amid the vastness of the Gulf of Davao, only to repeat itself in a more awesome spectacle when it sets in the afternoon, while radiating brilliantly from yellow to orange hues as it slowly sinks beneath the horizon as if to bid its spectators adieu for the day.

The Park is beautifully situated along the coastline of Times Beach in Matina Aplaya, a popular public beach near Ecoland, Davao City where families usually gather on weekends or holidays for a simple picnic or just a relaxing stroll along its sands.

Aside from the refreshing view of the gulf, the sun, and the horizon, other attractions include a huge golden replica of the world famous Michelangelo’s Buonarroti ‘s Statue of David, which is perched on a not so high pedestal before a long shallow pool of baby sharks and bordered with well-manicured grass patches and beautifully shaped shrubs, as it welcomes visitors entering the Park; a magnificent replica of the Little Mermaid, an iconic statue in Denmark at the old harbor district of Langilinie in the capital of Kobenhavn (Copenhagen) which was made famous by Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen; concrete figures of dolphins; a mini-zoo that features ostriches and Musang or local mouse-deers; comfortable benches ornamented with a trellis of crawling vines; and of course, a park would not be complete without the usual clusters of food vendors plying their trades.
