PARKS
& OTHER RECREATIONAL SITES
Subatan
Lane
The
town’s boulevard facing the rising sun is a long stretch of parks and
recreational sites. This stretch is perfect for jogging, biking or just
leisure walking especially during early morning and the late afternoon to
evening.
At
the northern extremity of the town is the Matagar Park otherwise known as
the Diamond Jubilee Park. It is beside Point Matagar, a natural monument
of rocks regarded by Bantoanons as their lighthouse and symbol of home–
unlit yet shining bright in the hearts and minds of Bantoanons. Just
beside the park across the brook is the Bangar Tree-House.
At
the middle of the town is the Guest House which is part of Fort San
Nicolas. Beside it are the Children’s Park, the public plaza, the
Generoso Fonte Memorial Theater and the Yagting Covered Court.
Fronting
the Municipal Hall is a tree-park that stretches a long way towards Tampos
(the Southern extremity of the town).
The
Banton Port is also a good place to spend leisure time. This new port is
clean and unlike other ports, it seldom becomes crowded.

Rainbow Park

Rainbow Park
This
is a tree-park overlooking the southern coast of Banton. This is actually
the best park in Banton and just along Banton’s circumferential road.
Manamyaw Viewdeck
This
offers a great view of the town although it is hard to reach. It is a very
good resting place though especially those who trek the caves.
School Grounds
Public
school grounds are open to visitors. In fact, the Banton Central
School Ground has been a favorite gathering place during the evening.
Camp Sites
Recommended
sites for camping or resting place for mountaineers are Malamig, Pyubanog
and Pukanon.
