Aurora Memorial National Park is a protected area of the Philippines located within the Sierra Madre mountain range between the provinces of Nueva Ecija and Aurora in Central Luzon.
Originally named Boñgabon-Baler National Park, the site was established in 1937 by virtue of Proclamation No. 220 by President Manuel L. Quezon.[1] The park initially had an area of 2,356 hectares (5,820 acres).[2] By 1941, its size was more than doubled to its current area.[3] In May 1949 the park was dedicated to former First Lady Aurora Aragon Quezon.[4]
