Salazar Eco Park

About Salazar Eco Park

Salazar Eco Park is a recreational area in Madridejos that gained significance when it hosted the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association (CVIRAA) games in 1998. The park features an Olympic-size seawater swimming pool that was constructed specifically for the athletic games and remains open to the public today. This unique facility offers visitors the experience of swimming in a large pool filled with seawater - combining the benefits of a controlled swimming environment with the natural minerals of ocean water. The pool and surrounding grounds provide recreational opportunities for both locals and tourists looking for activities beyond the beach. The eco park represents Madridejos' investment in sports and recreation infrastructure, offering a different kind of water activity for visitors who prefer pool swimming over ocean beaches. It's particularly popular with families and those who want a break from sandy beaches while still enjoying the water.
