Bataan National Park

Bataan National Park is a protected area of the Philippines located in the mountainous interior of Bataan Peninsula in Central Luzon 101 kilometers northwest from Manila. The park covers an area of 23,688 hectares straddling the northern half of Bataan province near its border with Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Zambales. The park was first established in 1945 under Proclamation No. 24 with an initial area of 31,000 hectares. It has since been reduced in 1987 to its present size of 23,688 ha. The park contains several World War II memorials being known historically as the site of the Bataan Death March. Bataan's highest peak, Mount Natib is also located within the park.
