Affordable Resorts in Fairview, Quezon City: List of Places to Beat the Heat

Here's a list of nearby pools in the Fairview, Quezon City area. 

There's no doubt that the summer is here with the temperature reaching up to 34 degrees. The best way, for me, to beat the summer heat is to take a dip in a cool and refreshing waters. If you live around Fairview here are possible places where you can swim and be cool!

1. La Mesa Eco Park (North Fairview, Quezon City)

There's a large pool located inside the Eco Park at La Mesa Dam. You have to pay a separate fee for access to the pool aside from the park's entrance fee. The good thing about this place is that there are also other activities that you can do within the park's grounds such as wall climbing, kayaking, fishing, biking and zip lining(?) The park is only open until 5 pm.

How to Get There via Public Transportation: 

• Ride a jeep/ FX or bus going to Fairview. 
• Drop off either at Winston or Pearl Drive. (Drivers know these places.)
• Ride a tricyle going to La Mesa Dam. 

2. Water Fun Resort (BIR Village, Fairview Dahlia)

This is a small resort with about a few pools for kids and adults. This is located inside BIR Village around Dahlia, North Fairview. For a simple dip, this place would do. As far as I know, Water Fun has night swimming. 

How to Get There via Public Transportation:

• Ride a jeep/ FX or bus going to Fairview
• Drop off at Fairview Center Mall
• Ride a tricyle going to Water Fun. (The terminal is behind the mall.)

Casa Milan is a prime subdivision. The pools are in their club house. The management allows outsiders to use their clubhouse unless there's an event in their function area. The pool area is only open until 5 pm. Recommended for small group of family and friends. This is about 5 minutes away from SM Fairview. 

How to Get There via Public Transportation:

• Drop off at the gate of Casa Milan. (This is along Regalado Avenue)
• Ask the guard for directions to the club house. (It's quite complicated to explain it here.)

This is also a club house inside Sacred Heart Village. This is way past SM Fairview and near Lagro Subdivision.
