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]

Improvements

As part of the Phase V, Camaligan Hanging Bridge is being constructed which will connect the park to the Sira and will finally connect the isolated barangays of San Francisco and Tarosanan to the town proper of Camaligan. [6]

Other Media

Camaligan River Park was featured in iJuander, a magazine show in GMA News TV on September 20, 2017. [7] It was again featured in TV Patrol Bicol, a regional TV show under ABS-CBN on February 7, 2019. [8]
