Panaad Park and Sports Complex
Panaad Park
A sports park on the south side of town. During the April Panaad Festival, each town in the province presents its products and traditions in its own pavilion. The rest of the year, it's a soccer field and running track.
Panaad Park is located on the southern outskirts of Bacolod. Its Panaad Stadium hosted the football matches of the 2005 Southeast Asian Games, and pavilions built in the local architectural styles of each Negros Occidental town are scattered around the grounds. Each late April, during the Panaad Festival (Panaad sa Negros, roughly 'the Negros pledge'), towns showcase local products, handicrafts, and food in their pavilions, with evening performances. It is a great way to learn about the traditions of the whole province. Outside festival season, the park is mainly used for sports and walking, and entry is free. About 6 km from the city center, roughly 20 minutes by taxi. Few attractions outside festival season.
