Surveillance cameras are installed all over the park to ensure the safety of visitors and monitor possible abuses inside. The close circuit TV cameras will discourage illicit activities. Another good thing is that Caregivers and wheelchairs are available for senior citizens who want to visit the park but could not do so.
People's Park is named after the winning entry of "Name the Park contest" of the city before it was officially opened. From the name itself it caters not only the people of the city but people of all cities.There is no entrance fee to the People's Park. People's Park is located near The Apo View Hotel and Casa Leticia Hotel.
