The developers are planning on adding a small beach, jet ski rentals, hotels, condos, and much more. However, it will likely take years to do so. Currently, the area will be a place for families and friends to hang out while performances take place at the event center.
The Baywalk can be found at the Reclamation Area near SM City Bacolod and a short walk away from Pope John Paul II Tower.
How to get there
You can take one of the many jeepnies (Pta. Taytay, Airport, Bata, Mandalagan, Shopping, Alijis, Sum-ag). However, be sure to ask the driver first! Not all the jeepnies will go by the area (even if the jeep has an SM sticker).
Current complaints about Bacolod Baywalk include:
- No garbage bins. People are throwing their trash everywhere. Soon the sea will be littered with trash and polluted.
- No police presence beyond the gate. Police are searching individuals at the entrance, yet there were no officers inside.
- Police did not check bags and did not swipe them with the metal detector. Weapons can easily be brought in.
- There are no places to sit except along the wall.
