After having carnival rides at the Children’s playground at Burnham Park during the summer vacation, Baguio City will soon have an entertainment facility that may operate regularly with the construction of an amusement park right atop Session Road.
The management of SM City Baguio has committed it will comply with the conditions required by the permits issued for the construction of an amusement park within its private property at Luneta Hill.
In a statement issued Friday, SM City Baguio said the management is working closely with the local government of Baguio City in designing and building the Sky Ranch Baguio, as it assured that no trees were cut in its construction.
“Sky Ranch Baguio is envisioned as an exciting new destination for families in the city. Here, Baguio residents will be able to enjoy the amusement park experience with its thrill, kiddie, and family rides close to their homes,” the mall chain management said.
It added the rides and other structures will sit among the pine trees within the premises, with the trees playing a major role in the aesthetics and overall look of the place. “With that, locals can have the amusement park experience in a nature-friendly setting.
“This mix of exciting attractions and a verdant ambiance will hopefully make Sky Ranch Baguio a favorite place for families and friends as well as for tourists,” SM said.
Mayor Mauricio Domogan considers the SM amusement park as a welcome addition to the city’s attractions not only for tourists but also for residents, as the city needs entertainment facilities for families especially on weekends.
He also does not see any problem having the park built in its location, which is close to two universities and a high school.
“That to me is not a reason to prevent the put-up of an amusement park. What’s important is the way we discipline our children. We should be concerned when children would go there instead of going to classes, but kahit walang carnival dyan ang bata lalabas pa rin kung hindi napangaralan nang maayos,” the mayor said.
He said even before its application for the construction of its expansion project, SM had intimated its intention of putting up an entertainment area within its own property.
He added that the Zoning Ordinance also does not prohibit the construction of the amusement facility in the area.
Domogan also expects that the mall will not sacrifice safety by going by high standards in the quality of rides and facilities it will offer the public.
The city government has recently allowed the operation of carnival rides at Children’s Playground on condition that such will be operated during vacation and until before the classes start. Its operator has been called out several times and ordered to stop its operations due to unsafe rides and lack of precautions.
