Osmeña Park and Monument

Osmeña Park and Monument is a Registered Property, Davao City located at Davao City, Highly Urbanized CIty, Region XI.

This park was formerly known as the Plaza Oyanguren, and was part of the San Pedro Church property until in 1917, when the first Civil Governor of Davao Province, Eulalio Causing, requested the church authorities to relinquish the church claims on the property. Named after President Sergio Osmeña, Sr., this park underwent several rehabilitations, the latest was in early 2014, through the efforts of City Administrator Atty. Jesus Melchor V. Quitain and City Environment & Natural Resources Head Engr. Elisa P. Madrazo. The “blessing” of the rehabilitated park was held on September 15, 2014. Featured here are the “Unsung Heroes of the War” monument with four (4) vintage canons and a vintage rifle; a marker of the “Early Davao Settlement”, a playground for the children, an exercise area for the Senior Citizens, a “chess” and “dama” area, among others.
