The La Mesa Park and Resort was established in the 1950s. It was opened to the public and quickly became a popular picnic destination for Metro Manila residents until the mid-1970s. However, the Park was eventually closed due to neglect. The facilities were in disrepair. The QC government, the ABS-CBN Foundation, and the MWSS conceptualized the restoration of La Mesa Park in 2001. The βSave La Mesa Watershed Projectβ cost total of $247 million raised for the parkβs rehabilitation. It reopened in September 2004 under the new name βLa Mesa Ecoparkβ. Moreover, the goal was to turn it into a center for biodiversity conservation and environmental education. As well as to provide a venue for leisure and a true forest experience to the Filipino family. The existing swimming pool, bathhouse, picnic grounds, playground, kiosks, and pavilions were restored in 2003. The park eventually added more facilities.
