March 16, 2021 THERE are several places in the East of Bacolod that are great for outdoor leisure and academic learning.
One of those is the University of St. La Salle (USLS) Ecological Park, which sits on a 10-hectare property that forms the overall 55-hectare Granada campus.
Trees shade the area, radiating a cool ambiance that is best for leisure and recreation.
Students and private individuals who want to hold retreats, seminars, and other undertakings that require serenity can utilize the place. But advance arrangements should be made to have a smooth stay.
According to its social media post, the hub is suitable for ecological resource and learning, nature appreciation, biodiversity conservation, and environmental studies for students, teachers, researchers and policymakers, and the general public.
The Lubbock City Council voted this month to hire a design team to craft plans for a potential downtown civic park.

A large public park will hopefully create more foot traffic along Broadway, thus creating more retail demand, and potentially spilling over into the arts and depot districts.
At the park itself, early visions included public concerts, outdoor seating, public art, water features, native landscape, large gathering spaces and different seasonal activities like yoga in the summer and ice skating in the winter.
