    Iloilo River Esplanade is a promenade and linear park along the Iloilo River, created as part
    of the Iloilo River Rehabilitation Project. It is the largest linear park in the Philippines and
    was designed by the landscape architect Paulo Alcazaren. The esplanade is one of a kind
    in the country that aims to foster biodiversity, store carbon by mangroves and provide
    protection from possible flood damages. Furthermore, the project aspires to build a lifestyle
    hub for the locals and promotes educational eco-tourism. The site was an existing dike road
    devoid of shade and originally built just as a flood control measure. The redesign has
    showcased its effect on public amenities, received several recognitions and has become a
    magnet for tourists in this city
    Pasig River Esplanade
    OFBank Center, 1000 Liwasang Bonifacio 1000, Ermita, Manila, 1000 Metro Manila

    The genesis of the Pasig River Esplanade was rooted in a collective


    vision to heal and revitalize the waterway, transforming it into a vibrant
    artery of life at the heart of Manila. Planners, architects,
    environmentalists, and the community converged on a shared dream: to
    craft spaces that encourage interaction, recreation, and contemplation
    along the riverbanks. Renowned architect and city planner Paulo
    Alcazaren has also been tapped as a consultant for the designs of the
    rest of the Pasig river’s rehabilitation project.

    The vision for the project was built on principles of sustainability and
    inclusivity, mirroring the diverse tapestry of Manila's urban landscape. It
    aimed to stitch together ruptured connections between the city's spaces
    and its people, offering a refuge in the bustling metropolis. Through
    careful planning and innovative design, the esplanade was poised to
    become a beacon of sustainable urban living, blending modernity with
    nature's resilience.

    Puerto Vallarta's Centro and Zona Romántica


    West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade

    Kowloon, Hongkong

    The West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade, which features the longest


    harbour-front timber boardwalk in Hong Kong. The promenade is the first
    project completed under the direction of the Harbour-front Enhancement
    Committee to offer access to the waterfront for public enjoyment. Situated at
    the southern tip of West Kowloon, the promenade occupies a site of 20,000
    square metres. Along the waterfront is a timber walkway 400 metres long and
    six metres wide. The timber walkway and nearby lawns provide an excellent
    vantage point to take in the spectacular scenery of Victoria Harbour. It is a
    great place for families to gather.

    The promenade is also decorated by 70 four-metre-high triangular lighting


    towers that form a one-kilometre-long "Dragon of Lanterns" winding along the
    timber boardwalk, then onto the lawn and footpath leading to the entrance.
    Adopting an environmentally friendly design, the promenade is a refreshing
    space created in the most cost-effective and sustainable way: renovated old
    containers to house toilets and a management office; abandoned seating
    benches have been fixed and recycled; the boardwalk has been paved with
    low-cost, unfinished timber boards; and demolition debris has been recycled
    for use as concrete.

    Apart from the timber boardwalk, lawn and footpath, facilities at the
    promenade include a landscaped area, children's play area and sand pit,
    pergola and cycling track. The promenade is also equipped with a metered
    carpark, which provides 30 private-car spaces and two coach spaces.

    Queen Elizabeth Walk

    Esplanade Park, Downtown Core District of Central Area of Singapore

    Adjoining the mouth of the Singapore River on its northern bank was the
    seafront promenade known as Queen Elizabeth Walk. Covering an area of
    around 9.5 acres, the nearly-completed promenade was officially opened
    on 30th May 1953, the Coronation Day of Queen Elizabeth II, and named
    in honour of the Queen. Built using the money collected to erect a
    memorial honouring those who died in the Second World War, the
    revamped promenade was considered part of the Esplanade area opposite
    the Padang (Malay for ‘flat field’) that was built on reclaimed land in 1943.
    The promenade was a popular hangout for people to stroll and enjoy the
    sea view, which has since been blocked by the Esplanade Bridge and the
    Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay arts and entertainment complex. Besides
    the Walk, other notable landmarks in the area included the Esplanade
    Park, the Cenotaph, the Tan Kim Seng Fountain, the Lim Bo Seng
    Memorial, and the Satay Club hawker centre.

    Puerto Vallarta’s promenade, known as El Malecon, the Malecon spans the


    length of a mile (1.6 kilometers) along Puerto Vallarta’s beachfront, ending at
    the four giant stone arches of the Los Arcos Amphitheater. Many citywide
    tours of Puerto Vallarta include a visit to El Malecon. Visitors can also
    explore the promenade and its array of offerings by foot, bike, or Segway on
    various tours designed around sightseeing, eating, and drinking experiences.

    the Malecon, head a couple blocks east to the Church of Our Lady of
    Guadalupe—the Renaissance-style structure is a favorite city landmark and
    worth a stop.
