La Mesa Ecopark opens Phase 3 with mini forest, team building area
The La Mesa Ecopark (LME) recently opened to the public Phase 3 of the environmental haven that has a mini forest and team building area, further highlighting the need for environmental protection and the importance of being one with nature.
The mini forest features a bike and hike trail within a 1.5-kilometer loop where rare birds and insects reside. Densely vegetated, it boasts a rugged terrain perfect for trail bikers, nature trekkers, and bird watchers.
The team building area features recreational activities and obstacle course facilities by Global Gutz, which can be booked by groups of families, friends, or organizations looking for something new and exciting.
The La Mesa Ecopark also offers other recreational activities inside the park such as wall climbing, paintball, target shooting, rappelling, and archery tag.
