Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) and ETON Properties Philippines are making that idea a reality at Parklinks, Metro Manila’s greenest urban retreat. 

Their most recent approach was a tree-planting session with Multiple Intelligence International School students at the Parklinks EcoForest, because nothing beats family-style nature therapy.
This next-level lifestyle playground incorporates gigantic green areas, biodiversity hotspots and wellness zones, transforming city hustle into peaceful flow.

“Parklinks represents our strongest commitment to building environments that uplift lives while respecting the natural landscape,” said Christopher B. Maglanoc, president of ALI Eton Property Development Corp and Ayala Land Estates. “By dedicating a significant portion of the estate to parks and ecological spaces, we are creating a healthier, more resilient community that future generations can enjoy.”

50 percent green, 100 percent your happy place

Of the over 35-hectare space, half is dedicated to lush parks, open-air bliss and ecological benefits — greenery as your primary lifestyle enhancement. Walkable walkways, wellness nooks and eco-connections make it the ideal destination for Metro Manila’s relaxed city life.

“Parklinks is not just a development — it is a transformative green corridor in the heart of Metro Manila,” said Kyle Ellis C. Tan, ALI Eton Property Development Corp. board director and president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Eton Properties. “Our shared vision ensures that sustainability, accessibility and quality urban living coexist seamlessly within this landmark estate.”

Dive into five dreamy green escapes: Eco Esplanade for riverside sunset chats; Eco Terraces with bike paths and panoramic decks for morning yoga; Eco Center’s open lawn for picnics and pop-up markets; Eco Park’s playful gardens and family learning spots and Eco Forest — your 12,000-tree sanctuary with wetlands and a vibrant Miyawaki zone.

“For residents of PNST and The Lattice, living in Parklinks means having true, everyday access to nature — not just views of green, but real parks right at their doorstep,” said Hans Lopez Vito, vice president and head of Brand Experience & Strategy - Residential Business Group, Estates and Corporate of Ayala Land, Inc. “The ability to step out to expansive lawns, riverside paths and shaded plazas elevates condominium living — turning wellness, walkability and outdoor time into part of daily life. That’s what makes Parklinks uniquely compelling in Metro Manila.”

Eco Forest is loaded with 50 Philippine natives, from endangered White Lauan and Yakal Saplungan to the stunning IUCN-listed Medinilla magnifica (Kapa-kapa). Multi-layered like a tropical escape, it invites wildlife, purifies your air and amps up that feel-good resilience.

Fast forests for effortless wellness

Thanks to the Miyawaki method — dense native plantings that race to maturity on prepped, forest-like soil — this spot becomes your self-sustaining Zen zone, delivering endless eco-perks.

“Our Miyawaki initiative reinforces our long-term responsibility — to ensure that developments like Parklinks contribute positively to the environment and the well-being of communities,” added Maglanoc.

“This project reflects our shared belief that sustainability is not an option — it is integral to the future of urban development,” shared Tan.

Parklinks is your ticket to a life that’s greener, healthier and seriously stylish wherein forests meet your front door, and every day feels like a lifestyle win. PJ Pascual
