The Makati Park and Garden, sometimes called Fort Bonifacio Riverside Park and Liwasang Bonifacio (transl. Bonifacio Park) by local residents,[1][2] is an urban riverfront park along the south bank of the Pasig River in Taguig, Philippines. It was created in 2001 as part of the Linear Parks Project of the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission[1] and the park has an area of 35,433 square meters (381,400 sq ft).[3] In the aftermath of the 2021 Supreme Court decision, which was decided in favor of the City of Taguig gaining jurisdiction of Fort Bonifacio and the Embo barangays, ownership and management of the park has been disputed between the cities of Makati and Taguig.
