Iloilo lake community unveils centerpiece clubhouse
MANILA, Philippines – The presence of a lake in a residential community can bring infinite possibilities to enjoying family life to the fullest. In Iloilo City, Sta. Lucia’s Green Meadows is the only masterplanned lake community that gives residents a generous amount of space to pursue outdoor activities and hobbies that they love best.
The man-made, six-hectare Lake Victoria is undoubtedly the centerpiece of this 80-hectare development, and with the recent opening of its exclusive members-only country club this year, families will be able to enjoy an even more leisurely experience of daily living.
The Green Meadows country club spans two hectares, which includes amenities and facilities such as a basketball court, a covered badminton court, a tenpin bowling center, and a free-form swimming pool with twin water slides. It is also equipped with a fitness gym, sauna, locker rooms, and a billiards play area.
“We wanted to offer a variety of amenities that members of all ages can enjoy,” says Ed Tirona, president of Orchard Property Marketing Corporation (OPMC), the official marketing arm of Sta. Lucia for the Green Meadows development.
Green Meadows features a landscaped entrance gate, wide concrete road network, complete electrical facilities, and a centralized water distribution system — all the modern conveniences needed for an easy and stress-free living in the emerging tourism and commercial center of Iloilo.
As a premier community, Green Meadows encourages freedom of space. Available lot sizes range from 120-sqm. to 200-sqm. in The Grove and The Palms phases. House and lot packages are also available for those who wish to move into the community and enjoy its benefits right away.
“The concept of Green Meadows is to provide a lively and yet relaxing lake community fit for the Ilonggo way of life. Familial bonds and lifelong friendship runs deep in Iloilo,” explains Tirona.
The centerpiece lake is kept in order by the developer, offering as well a variety of activities for recreational and sport pursuits, such as boating, fishing, kayaking, and even Jet Ski rides for the more adventurous.
Surrounding the lake is a fully landscaped jogging path with pavers, street lamps, and stone benches. Residents who wish to go for early morning runs or bike rides can take advantage of the soothing environment.
In the middle of the lake sits an island dubbed The Peninsula, which houses a swimming pool, a children’s playground, a gazebo and picnic shed, as well as an eight-storey lighthouse with an observation deck that provides a 360-degree view of the entire subdivision—all the way toward the waters of the Iloilo Strait.
In terms of accessibility, Green Meadows boasts a prime location within Iloilo City, straddling two municipalities. The Grove in located in Barangay Tacas, Jaro while The Palms is located in Barangay Unka I, Pavia. The development is easily accessed through four major thoroughfares—the Iloilo Circumferential Highway, the National Highway, Tacas provincial road, and Ungka barangay road.
