AUGUSTINE CATHEDRAL AND GASTON PARK


Named after a pre-war Municipal Mayor of Cagayan de Oro,
Segundo Gaston, the park is located near the St. Augustine
Cathedral and the Archbishop’s Palace. It was the main plaza of
Cagayan de Misamis during the Spanish colonial period. It
served as the training ground of local patriots during the
Philippine-American War. Later it became the site of the Battle
of Cagayan de Misamis on April 7, 1900. A National Historical
Institute marker was placed in the park in 2000.

VICENTE DE LARA PARK


One of the oldest parks in Cagayan de Oro City is Vicente de Lara Park. It

of the park is a fitting tribute to the late Honorable Vicente de Lara who
served as governor of the province from 1954 to 1961. During that time
Cagayan de Oro City was administratively and politically a part of
Misamis Oriental.
