Amidst the bustling Central Business District of Makati City is the Ayala Triangle Gardens. An expanse of over 20,000 square meters is a greenery full of plant, trees and promenade that features an experience of tranquil environment. It is situated in the middle of three major thoroughfares in the Makati CBD: Ayala Avenue, Makati Avenue, and Paseo de Roxas. The master plan for the Ayala Triangle Gardens was developed by Ayala Land’s Innovation and Design Group headed by chief architect Joel Luna. Landscape architecture was undertaken by E-Group.It was inspired by London's Hyde Park.
The fences which border the Ayala Triangle Gardens has dita trees, orange jasmine and podocarpus hedges, buho and yellow-striped bamboos. The pathways are lined with palms-royal, African oil, Manila palm and fishtails.The garden was provided with ornamental shrubs such as Eugenia, spry picarras, pittosphorum, Thailand scheffleras, dwarf sensiviera and miniature pandakakis in vibrant mixes of different colors which are arranged according to height. The arrangement lead to contrast in color. The garden is scattered with mango, bignay, bangkal, talisay, kalumpit, alibangbang, raintree, Thailand acacia, caimito, rubber tree, palosanto and Talisay bagras trees.
They hope that the park will do its share in lessening the carbon footprint by encouraging people to walk. It also serves as an alternative breathing space for the people in Makati. It made walking in Makati more pleasurable and convenient with their retails and wifi. The park is also used for Christmas light show as a tradition of central business district.
