Ayala Triangle Gardens
The Ayala Triangle Gardens is a landscaped urban park in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is a triangular public garden and courtyard in the center of the Makati Central Business District. It was named after its owner and developer Ayala Land, and opened to the public in November 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ayala Triangle Gardens to be unveiled )〕 Inspired by Hyde Park in London, the park, which is dotted with palms, acacia trees, and tropical foliage, is considered as one of the few "green" areas in Makati.
The Triangle has become a focal point for social events in the business district, and is popular at Christmastime for its extravagant light-and-sound display.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ayala sparkles with a million Christmas lights )〕 It is also home to the Tower One and Exchange Plaza and Makati Stock Exchange Building, as well as the old Nielson Tower which houses the Filipinas Heritage Library.
==History==
The land of the present-day Ayala Triangle Gardens was once the Nielson Field, Manila's pre-World War II airport, located in the vast ''Hacienda de San Pedro de Macati'' of the Zóbel de Ayala family. When the airport was decommissioned in 1948 and transferred its present site in Nichols Field, the site was returned to the Ayalas and redeveloped as a commercial district.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nielson Airport )〕 The runways were converted into roads which now form the Triangle's boundaries: Ayala Avenue along its southwest; Paseo de Roxas along the north-northeast; and Makati Avenue to the east-southeast. Only the airport's control tower was preserved, and has since been converted into the Filipinas Heritage Library.
By 1971, the Ayala Corporation moved to its new headquarters in the Triangle at the Makati Stock Exchange Center building designed by National Artist for Architecture Leandro Locsin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Towers of power: Makati as financial center )〕 The rest of the Triangle was then transformed into the football field known as Ugarte Field, named after the Filipino football legend of the 1930s, Sebastian Ugarte. In the 1980s, Ugarte Field was the site of regular protests against the Marcos dictatorship.
