The La Mesa Ecopark ExeCom also approved several proposals, including the implementation of a new ₱50 entrance fee for non-Quezon City residents. This is foreseen to further support the park’s operations, maintenance, and continuous improvement. Quezon City residents continue to enter for free upon presenting their Quezon City ID.
