main road of the campus.

Five salamander trees are all located on the East side of the park near the center.
Trees like Gooseberries, Ipil-ipil, Acacia, and Bougainvillea are not are odds in terms of location, counts
and ages. They contribute beauty to the park but cannot not cover most of the area.
The some trees planted in plant boxes resulting a crack on concrete because of having larger roots.

Most of the carabao grass on the east side of the park are gone and the land are no livable plants and
trees due to its dryness and because of the students walk directly on land and not on the path ways. it
means the park is not properly planed according to its users.
PHYSICAL FEATURES:

Dr. Jose Rizal monument is the main concept of creating the BulSU Mini-Rizal park. It is elevated 1.05
meters from the ground and the whole monument height is 3.30 meters. Located at the middle of the
cross path and facing the main road of Mc Arthur highway.

The Trellis - inspired from Milan, Italy. It is a part of the renovation of BulSU Rizal Park in order for it to
have a landscape with a new concept. According to the BulSU Building and Ground Management Office
(BGMO), who supervises the renovation, it is designed according to the preference of Architect
Lobregat, who happens to be practicing his profession in Milan. He innovated it to compliment the
statue of Rizal. It is fully sponsored by the BulSU Alumni Association. It is a framework of light wooden
and metal bars. People can study or simply hang-out under the covered part.
 The flap pole of the school located at the north entrance of the park. The height of the pole
seems to look short because trees beside are almost same height.
The base of flagpole look like a clay that just placed in tiles in the middle and seems to be
inappropriate design for its importance to the university.

The west side of the park seems to be hotter on afternoon than the east side because the sunlight can
directly enter and trees not divided equally, resulting to accumulate few students in the park on east
and covered area.
Some plants surrounding the monument does not survive because students teds to sit and walk on the
planted area because that area is covered by trees and other one is not.

The Bulacan State University monument is located in the south-west corner of the park. Measures 1.75
meters from the ground. Welcoming the people who enters the university.
The Oval planter boxes planted by different kinds of Bougainvillea. It surround by two concrete benches
and some of those used by the students to hangout.
These are the removable things that can found in the park like thesis project, skeleton of Christmas tree,
floodlight, plant pail, light bollards, fences, and BulSU Sign.
