It's a landmark of the City of Cebu when Spaniards came over to set foot in the island of Mactan. Visit the place to see more of the history of the Philippines.

A nice renovated park as a tribute to the local hero Lapu Lapu . Local souvenir stalls & fish restaurants where you pick your fish & seafood & its cooked to your liking.

obviously not a skateboard, but to my 3 year old it was close enough. Well worth stopping off here and looking at this little park. It was odd to have Brian Adams blasting from the loud speakers as we came in, but the monuments and statues are nice. There are lots of little souvenir type places lining the edges of... More 

The facility is a tourist-friendly destination especially for people who are interested to know the history of Spanish colonization in the Philippines. It is well-maintained and organized. I commend the local government of Mactan for making this place a real tourist destination in Cebu.

The people in the area are very proud of Lapu Lapu. Area around the statue is very pleasant and there are a lot of stalls here to buy local produce. Doesn't take long to go around the area and see the original landing place of Magellan.
