GENERAL LUNA, SURIGAO DEL NORTE — General Luna is pursuing plans for a new seaside facility that could add to its growing tourism and recreational infrastructure. The proposed Seaside Skate Park is envisioned along the existing seawall in Barangay 1, Poblacion, where a dedicated surfskate pathway and bowl ramps would provide space for skateboarding, surfskating, and other outdoor activities. Stretching along a seawall measuring more than 350 meters, the planned development would combine recreational facilities with the municipality’s coastal setting. If realized, it could give residents and visitors another public space to enjoy while adding a different attraction to Siargao’s tourism landscape.
Proposed Development Along the Barangay 1 Seawall
The project is designed to make use of the existing waterfront area by introducing facilities for board sports and outdoor recreation. Its planned features include a pathway for surfskating and bowl ramps, offering a dedicated space for activities that are part of Siargao’s growing board-riding culture. The proposed location could also make the seawall more attractive as a place for leisure and community activities, complementing the municipality’s existing coastal attractions. By adding a purpose-built recreational facility, the project could broaden the possible uses of the waterfront beyond its existing function.
Funding Efforts and Project Plans
According to the Local Government Unit of General Luna, the proposal was presented to the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority, Philippine Sports Commission, and Department of Public Works and Highways during a multi-agency coordination meeting for the World Surf League Championship Tour in August 2026. The municipality also identified the skate park as one of its flagship tourism infrastructure projects, with funding support being pursued through the agencies. However, the announcement states that the plans and design remain subject to further improvement and finalization, and it does not provide a confirmed construction schedule, approved budget, or completion date. The proposed development therefore remains a project under consideration, with its eventual implementation dependent on the completion of planning and funding arrangements.
