BAGUIO CITY (January 29, 2022) – Ilocos Norte will open the first floating playground in Northern Luzon at the Paoay Lake, near the Malacañang ti Amianan, in Barangay Suba, Paoay, Sunday (January 30).

“Paoay Lake Water Park,” a 4200-square meter inflatable boasts gigantic slides, swings, launchers, and an inflatable pool.

The Bali-inspired “I’m IN Lounge” by the lake shore also features at least 120 pairs of vibrant umbrellas and bean bags.

The opening of the floating playground will be strictly regulated and subject to government-mandated health and safety protocol, organizers vowed.

For the attraction’s initial promo, Ilocos Norte residents will be offered discounts. But only fully vaccinated guests will be accepted to ensure the safety of all guests and staff.

The “Paoay Lake Water Park” is projected to exponentially boost domestic tourism and ensure stable employment and livelihood opportunities for many industry workers and local business owners.

“This calamity made us further appreciate our wealth of natural sites and allowed us to highlight our natural, outdoor tourist attractions,” said Governor Matthew Manotoc.

We are more than ready for the full revival of our tourism industry and we look forward to welcoming our kababayans to Ilocos Norte,” he added.
