Trampoline Park (Greenfields)

Europe's phenomenal Trampoline Park is now in the Philippines, and is one of the first trampoline park in the country which opened last February 2016. The park is a great place to unwind, workout and experience something different after a busy day from work- some of my colleagues and I decided to try Trampoline Park in Greenfields, Mandaluyong City.

The whole warehouse was converted into a trampoline park with several activities which includes:  Basketball (dunk), Gravity Dodgeball, Air Volleyball, Zumba, Plyometrics (explosive jumps) and fitness classes for adults and kids are taught by professional instructors. 

It was said that a trampoline workout burns more than any normal workout because you’re required to use more energy, all the while strengthening your muscles– I can personally attest to that, my sweat was drifting as if I ran 21 km.

Personal safety and caution should be exercised when in Trampoline park, I was guilty of not following safety guidelines, thus I had a slight sprain. It was a great experience, I just hope they will have an available water dispenser, because their bottled water is way too expensive.

How to Get There:

1. Located in Greenfields, Mandaluyong you can alight in Edsa Shaw and ask for Trampoline Park.

2. You can also buy promo vouchers from Metrodeal which my colleague did.

Revisiting Matabungkay Beach

Matabungkay Beach is located in the town of Lian, Batangas. According to the locals it was “rediscovered” in the early 1950s by Germans who were looking for a go-to paradise within proximity to the bustling Manila. Since then, Matabungkay transformed into a tourist destination from a simple fishing village. The shore is enveloped in a cove and is strewn with ashen sand and off-white fine grain sand that sparkles a white glow when struck by sunlight. It is bordered landward by a long, cramped lane of resorts and stores. 

The waters of Matabungkay is clear, vivid and calm with no strong splurges of waves. It does not also have a sudden deep section making it safe for swimming even for children. One interesting feature of the beach are the traditional bamboo floating rafts or balsas (floating cottages) that can be rented for a day. Also available for rent are the Banana Boat, Jet Ski, Pedal Boat and Speed Boat to complete a total beach experience.

 

 

How to Get There:

1.) You can ride a bus bound for Nasugbu, then alight at Lian Town Proper.

2.) Once in Lian, you can then ride jeepneys bound for Matabungkay Beach.
