Mountain View Nature's Park, Busay
About Mountain View Nature's Park, Busay
Mountain View Nature's Park is a hillside recreation park in Busay, the highland district above Cebu City best known for its resorts, viewpoints, and cooler air. The park sits along Roosevelt Drive on the same ridge that hosts Temple of Leah, Tops Lookout, and other Busay attractions, combining a swimming pool area with landscaped grounds and city-view spots. Facilities include a public pool with a separate fee, picnic areas, a rope-course adventure activity, and open lawns for photos, making it a family-oriented stop rather than a purely scenic overlook. Because Busay sits several hundred meters above the city, temperatures here run noticeably cooler than downtown, part of the draw for local day-trippers on weekends. As with most Busay attractions, it works best as one stop on a loop that also includes Tops Lookout, Temple of Leah, or Sirao Flower Garden, since all sit within a short habal-habal or taxi ride of each other along the same upland road network.
Highlights
Tips for Visitors
- 1 Weekends get crowded with local families, so arrive early if you want the pool without long queues. Bring a jacket or light layer for cooler evening air. Combine with Temple of Leah or Tops Lookout on the same Busay loop. Location approximate — confirm on arrival.
How to Get There
