Evolving your lifestyle around wellness choices | Lifestyle.INQ

OCTOBER 27, 2022

In this hyper-paced era with so many competing demands on our time and attention, how does one bring life back into lifestyle? As we navigate this complex world, even the simple act of spending time in an inspiring public space to have fun, commune with nature, and just “be” can have a profound positive effect on one’s wellness and productivity.

In the heart of Metro Manila along EDSA, you’ll find Greenfield District. Conveniently located near offices and residential condominiums, it provides urbanites accessible opportunities to regularly experience wellness, green open spaces, and a sense of belonging. As a lifestyle hub, it exemplifies how a little change of scenery just minutes away can be restorative, and that one need not spend a fortune to live the good life.

Thrive through Play

An essential ingredient to a healthy lifestyle is having work-life balance. Increasingly, individuals and companies are recognizing that optimal rest and recreation are crucial for boosting productivity by enhancing brain performance. And when one is in a flow state, satisfaction follows.

Greenfield District presents opportunities for play that are easily reached by office workers and residents in the area, and a short walk from the MRT if coming from other Metro Manila cities. Gameville Ball Park has two FIBA wooden basketball courts that can be converted to volleyball courts. The nearby Sports Resto + Bar can serve as a post-game hangout spot.

The District is also home to the largest indoor climbing facility in the Philippines, Climb Central. Routes and boulder problems are periodically modified, ensuring that visitors of varying skill levels can look forward to new and challenging experiences.

Those who want to take their fitness routine to the next level will find there the support that they need. Obstacle Central awaits individuals and groups with Spartan-grade obstacle courses and experienced coaches. Play Padel offers padel clinics and tournaments for beginners and seasoned players of this increasingly popular racket sport. Soon, a dance studio will start welcoming learners who love to move to the beat and you can even join in free classes such as yoga, taekwondo, fencing, community workouts, and more.

Dining as a Social Experience

Social health is another essential aspect of wellness. Especially in the Philippines, emotional bonds are strengthened over a good meal, and today’s diners actively take part in the evolving food culture. At Greenfield District, The Hub boasts an array of international flavors, local specialties, and healthy meal options within a 2,000-sqm space. The dynamic atmosphere and mix of restaurants will reenergize the senses as customers make time for themselves and their loved ones.

Blackwood Bistro is a haven for those seeking a taste of New York right in Mandaluyong City. Another must-visit there is the Vintage—a deli shop, a wine cellar, and a jazz bar rolled into one. At Red Rhino, the fusion of culinary delights and visual arts will be good for your soul. For a more playful outing, Whimsy Café offers a whimsical setting for board game enthusiasts. Meanwhile, Lola Nors, Mr. Beef and Noodles Hot Pot, and Ryoma Ramen serve up delightful meals. Those seeking unique and memorable experiences will find plenty of reasons to linger in these vibrant spots. 

Community Connecting with Nature

Every weekend, Greenfield District Central Park comes alive with activities that gather families and friends in a festive garden setting. The Greenfield Weekend Market operates from 4 PM to 12 AM every Saturday and Sunday. Some of the community-building activities held there include live music performances, pet fairs, live art, and fitness events. Outdoor stalls selling food, vintage stuff, handcrafted items, books, and other goods add to the vibrancy and diversity of the weekend market scene.  

Another initiative is Greenfield District’s Car-Free Sundays. The area of Mayflower from United Street to Soho Central is closed to vehicular traffic from 6 to 10 AM so residents and visitors can safely prioritize physical activity and enjoyment of the outdoors.

By providing recreational and dining options that enhance overall wellbeing, and a nature-centric environment that fosters social connections, Greenfield District is a destination that helps urbanites flourish in Metro Manila.
