The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), together with Poro Point Management Corporation (PPMC) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), is set to redevelop the 8,000-square-meter Poro Point Baywalk in La Union into a sports and recreation complex that will attract more visitors and give the community a vibrant shared space by the sea.
The entire stretch of the Poro Point Baywalk will be developed into a vibrant recreation hub by the sea. It will feature a 400-seater grandstand, an Olympic-standard skate course, basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and badminton courts, a public park, and an events space equipped with solar-powered lighting.
The complex will also include a toilet and shower facility, as well as landscaping works, covered benches, and improved utilities for a sustainable and inclusive leisure experience.
The new baywalk development will provide both residents and visitors more reasons to enjoy La Union’s dynamic coastal lifestyle while supporting the province’s growing reputation as a destination for sports and recreation.
“This project shows how we can turn our economic zones into spaces that truly serve the community,” said BCDA President and CEO Engr. Joshua M. Bingcang. “Together with PPMC and DPWH, we’re building not just facilities, but experiences that enhance local life and strengthen Poro Point’s appeal as a destination for recreation, tourism, and investment in Northern Luzon.”
Under the agreement, BCDA will provide the project site and concur with the design prepared by DPWH, which will handle funding, procurement, and construction. PPMC, meanwhile, will oversee inspection, coordination, and maintenance upon completion, ensuring that the facility remains well-managed and accessible to the public.
“The joint project represents our shared vision for growth, and innovation. Once complete, the facility will not only expand our capabilities but also create new opportunities for collaboration, learning, and progress,” said PPMC OIC President and CEO Servillano C. Flores, Jr.
Once completed, the project is expected to boost local tourism, generate employment, and create livelihood opportunities for small and medium enterprises.
