Lagoon standby

Welcome to the bacolod capital lagoon, the lagoon is a small leisure area located right in front of the Negros Provincial capitol building, situated right in the heart of Bacolod City, it is one of the town's most favorite resting and exercise spots, in the center of it is a large pond, with a depth of 4-5 feet, and can hold as much as 40 to 50- metric tons water. The park today has become a popular spot for local families to hold picnics on Sundays and holidays and is a major tourist attraction of Negros

The pic above I took with me and my comrades resting after a 1 hour walk from Robinsons bacolod, which is almost 1 to 2 kilometers away whe we arrived at around 3:30 in the afternoon, we decided to take a rest here and do some "standbying" before we go to our next destination. 

The lagoon was built during 1924 to 1935 together with the provincial capitol building, which  today is the seat of  the provincial government. 

   

An Afternoon Jogger, this people tend to jog around the lagoon at around 3:30 or 4:00 until the evening. 

the Lagoon is a Favorite place for bacolod fitness buffs during the morning, during the mid morning to the near afternoon the lagoon is a favorite spot by both bacolodnons and other illongos coming from nearby municipalities and towns after doing a hard runabout around bacolod come here to relax and enjoy, by the afternoon, local residents, especially coming from nearby barangays flock to the lagoon and try to relax after a hard days work, you can often see some office people coming in and relax in the park. Also, other activities at the park include jogging, aerobics, school dance and drama rehearsals, promenading, Arnis and martial arts practice and feeding the tilapias of the lagoon. the tilapias in this pond has become omnivorous and will eat anything from the prescribed popcorn and popped rice to bread, junk food and even sputum!!

The Park has complete amenities, from a skateboard and roller skate rink to a playground, there is also restrooms available at the admin office when you go near the north-west entrance of the park. actaully the tilapias are harvested at sometime, and the ones who benefit from the large number of tilapias from the lagoon pond are prisoners at the nearby provincial jail, every 2 years, a few selected prisoners together with a squad of jail guards come to the lagoon and are carefully guarded, while the pond is being drained, to a "harvestable" level, the prisoners catch the fish and then they are put into fish containers and carried back to the jail, where the prisoners will reap the reward of the provincial lagoon.

North Side of the Lagoon you can see there are so many people  

As for  otakus who are interested in bacolod schoolgirls and their school life, when you arrive here in bacolod (usually school starts at June),  you can visit the park every weekends especially Saturdays where you will find a lot of  Bacorod Joshikō-sei and also a lot of them stay around here in the weekends and you can see them  in their seifukus.
