Marikina's Gil Fernando Avenue Goes Car-Free Every Sunday Morning! π΄♀️π Exciting news for Marikina City! Starting this weekend, the bustling Gil Fernando Avenue will transform into a car-free haven every Sunday morning.
From 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., a 700-meter stretch from Xeland Marikina to Comedor Restaurant will be closed to motor vehicles, giving pedestrians and cyclists a space to move, exercise, and enjoy a quieter morning.
Tet Curry, Cultural Head of Marikina, shared that the goal of this initiative is to promote active transport, encourage a healthy lifestyle, foster togetherness of family and community, and boost tourism.
Expect fun community activities like Zumba sessions, jogging, cycling, and even a dedicated kiddie zone for young bikers.
The city also plans to introduce a Sunday bazaar later on, but for now, the focus is on boosting foot traffic for the existing businesses along Gil Fernando Avenue. This initiative is a fantastic way to bring the community together, promote health and fitness, and support local businesses.
Whether you're a fitness enthusiast, a family looking for a fun Sunday activity, or someone who just enjoys a peaceful stroll, Gil Fernando Avenue's car-free Sundays have something for everyone.
Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to experience Marikina City in a whole new light!
