BURGOS CIRCLE - Park That Protects BGC From Flood
Read: taguigeno.com/burgoscircle
Underneath Burgos Circle is a 72-meter (236 ft) wide, six-storey deep retarding basin for retaining flood water. During heavy rain, the basin retains water until it is emptied when the weather clears into creeks that flow to Manila Bay.
Built during the initial development of the Bonifacio Global City at a cost of ₱60 million, and only one of two existing retarding basins in Metro Manila (the other located beneath the Magallanes Interchange), the basin has been credited for preventing flooding on both Epifanio de los Santos Avenue and Kalayaan Avenue.
