 Lake Mojicap Recreation Park: Where Nature, Art, and Tourism Meet in San Pablo City

San Pablo City, Laguna– Tucked along the shoreline of one of the city’s famous Seven Lakes, Lake Mojicap Recreation Park stands as a unique blend of natural beauty and artistic expression, offering residents and tourists alike a refreshing escape from urban bustle.

Situated in Barangay San Buenaventura, the park sits beside Lake Mojicap, a volcanic crater lake covering 14.5 hectares and located 80 meters above sea level. It is a privately owned destination developed by local entrepreneur and artist Sir. Eddie Boy Gamo, who transformed what was once arable land into a thriving nature and recreation hub.

According to Gamo, the park was envisioned as an eco-friendly getaway that combines conservation efforts with creative flair. As a visual artist, photographer, and antique collector himself, he integrated his passion into the site, showcasing some of his personal artworks and rare vintage collections throughout the premises. These pieces, ranging from classic dolls to historical curios, add a distinct cultural touch that sets the park apart from other tourist spots.

The facility offers open spaces perfect for relaxation, picnics, and small gatherings, while providing unobstructed views of the lake and surrounding lush greenery. It has become a favorite spot for sightseeing, photography, and painting, drawing visitors from within the province and beyond.

Located roughly three to four hours away from Metro Manila by land travel, the park serves as an accessible day trip or stopover destination for travelers exploring Laguna and nearby provinces. Beyond offering leisure opportunities, the establishment aims to boost local tourism and raise awareness about the preservation of San Pablo City’s natural treasures.

Through this project, Gamo has not only created a space where people can reconnect with nature but also contributed to the sustainable development of the area. With nature and art at its core, Lake Mojicap Recreation Park continues to stand as a testament to how private initiatives can help promote and protect local heritage and environment.(RJ Reportorial)
