This is a descriptive study which aims to provide concrete view of Centennial Park development profile in the perspective of the population to be sampled.

This research study focuses on investigating the current development and management of the centennial park as one of tourist destination in Iligan City. Many attempts were done to market the place, however there were no studies made to concretize the development profile of the Park. Thus, this study is proposed for this purpose.

Mark with the historical stories of the city, it is necessary to preserve the centennial park to attract domestic and foreign tourists.
