It has a 1.5-hectare of some hardwood, tropical trees, mangrove forest, and certainly coconut trees dotting the area. Lake Danao has a total of 700 hectares of fresh water in diameter, and the only biggest natural lake in Cebu Province.

Flora & Fauna

Romantic Lake

As you would surely agree, lakes are romantic in its nature.

So is Greenlake Park. Couples and lovers from all over the province and from other regions come to experience the serenity of the place and share their intimate time together by the lakeside.

Just like most couples or lovers do, visitors take a boat and paddle around the lake…
There is also a boat available to take a limited number of couples. It is provided with native style chairs and tables making it look like a simple floating restaurant.

“Sakanaw” is the name of this outrigger motor-powered boat. Since many visitors want to ride this boat, the local government is in the process of developing a bigger one that can accommodate more than 10 persons.
