Taguig City continues to promote a healthier and more active lifestyle through its Car-Free Streets initiative, giving residents more opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities and connect with their communities. Every Sunday, selected roads are transformed into open spaces where people can walk, run, cycle, and participate in recreational activities. The program highlights the city's commitment to creating safer and more welcoming public spaces for people of all ages.
More Streets, More Opportunities for Active Living
The Taguig Car-Free Streets initiative continues to encourage residents to embrace physical wellness by providing accessible spaces for exercise and recreation. The program was expanded to the EMBO barangays starting March 1, 2026, as part of the city's efforts to promote healthier lifestyles and encourage community participation. Through the initiative, residents can enjoy outdoor activities while making better use of public road spaces.
A Variety of Activities for Every Generation
Residents can take part in different recreational activities along designated routes, including Cayetano Boulevard, the C-5 Service Road leading to Taguig Ecopark, 11th Street from P. Gomez to 19th Street in A. Luna, Kamagong Street in Barangay Comembo, and Negros Street in Barangay Pitogo. Activities include running, walking, cycling, skating, free bicycle lessons, bike maintenance, wellness sessions such as Zumba and Tai Chi, and outdoor sports. Tabletop games like chess, Scrabble, and Sungka are also available, making the initiative an enjoyable experience for children, young adults, and families.
Building a Healthier and More Connected Taguig
The program also provides residents with an opportunity to spend time outdoors and reduce their dependence on gadgets. Participants Cindhe Jane Oceña and LJ Joven from Barangay Ibayo-Tipas shared how the initiative allows them to enjoy fresh air, stay active, and experience the environment. They also expressed their appreciation to Mayor Lani Cayetano and the city government for providing spaces where young people can enjoy their childhood and develop healthier habits. The city invites everyone to join the Car-Free Streets initiative every Sunday from 5:00 AM to 9:00 AM.
