Rizal Park

The Rizal Park is close to the City Hall of Davao City, Quezon Park, about 15 meters west of the Sangguniang Panlungsod ng  Dabaw, San Pedro Cathedral, and Osmeña Park (formerly Plaza de Oyanguren). It has been the center stage where every significant event in the history and life of Davao City and the Davaoeños unfold, such as informal meetings of government staffs about different city concerns, political rallies and religious fellowships are held, government-sponsored  events, free concerts, and street food fiestas are celebrated. The Park is among the chief venues of all major festivals and celebrations in the city, where every Davaoeño has, at one time or another, paraded along the street of San Pedro for the Araw ng Dabaw and danced the "Indak-indak" during Kadayawan Festival. It is located at the seat of religious and  political power where the legislative and executive branches of local government form a right triangle with the Archdiocese of Davao at the center. After all, the area where the Rizal Park is situated is Davao City’s Kilometer Zero.
