Valenzuela City's "best-kept secret” lies beside a 1,300-meter boardwalk, light posts and fence adorned with statues of fish that can be caught there. It was constructed to preserve the fishing site. 
Various activities are being offered in the area such as jogging in the boardwalk, recreational fishing, line fishing tutorials, bird watching, boating, Photowalk, and sunset watching. Migratory birds could be seen in the distance.
Tilapia, Bangus, hito, and other types of fish can be caught in the fishing site.
