Initially launched in June 2014 as Camaligan River Cruise Park, it was then renovated beginning 2016, and its reopening in 2017 attracted many visitors.[2]
Location
The linear park is located along the riverside of the barangays of Sto. Domingo and San Jose-San Pablo in Camaligan. It is the most accessible river park outside the City of Naga.[3]
Creation
The park is a joint project of Department of Tourism Region V and the Local Government Unit of Camaligan, Camarines Sur under the Bottom-Up Budgeting Program for the year 2015.[4] In 2014, it was planned only to be the docking site of the Camaligan River Cruise or M/B Camaligan, thus, first naming the park as Camaligan River Cruise Park.[5]
Being located near the Bicol River, the people of Camaligan gained their socio-cultural identity as river people and traders during pre-colonialism. The idea of building the park was to promote the town's culture and bring life to the river as it is a reminder of Camaligan's significant contribution in the history and its integral role for the emergence of Bicol civilization.[3]
