The Malabon City government has created a task force group (TFG) to ensure peace and order at the Dampalit Mega Dike Park in Barangay Dampalit.

The park provides a space for residents and families for exercise, leisure and different activities.

Malabon City Jeannie Sandoval and the City Council signed last Feb. 8 Executive Order No. 24-02-08-005 Series of 2024, creating the TFG which is the implementing body of all regulations and other laws for the operations of the Dampalit Mega Dike Park.

"Within their respective territorial jurisdictions, local government units shall ensure and support, among other things, the preservation and enrichment of culture, promote health and safety, enhance the right of the people to a balanced ecology, encourage and support the development of appropriate and self-reliant scientific and technological capabilities, improve public morals, enhance economic prosperity and social justice, promote full employment among their residents, maintain peace and order, and preserve the comfort and convenience of their inhabitant," the order read.

According to the city government, the TFG will conduct regular meetings; issue policy guidelines for the operation and management of the park.

It will also identify issues and provide recommendations for the issuance of guidelines and approve activities to be conducted in the Mega Dike Park.

It will be led by City Administrator Alexander Rosete and composed of personnel from the Business Permit and Licensing Office, City Environment and Natural Resources Office, Public Safety and Traffic Management Office, City Legal Department, Mayor's Complaint and Action Team, City Engineering Department, City Planning and Development, Coordinator General Service Department, chairman of Brgy. Dampalit or his representative, Local Economic and Investment Promotions Office, and Philippine National Police - Malabon City.

The order also stated that the City Tourism Department and its staff will serve as the secretariat of the task force that will schedule activities relevant to the projects; coordinate the schedule of activities, updates on the projects, and other project-related concerns; facilitate all proposals of activitie and preparation of necessary documents; and act as overall coordinator among members.

The park was established in the village's  8.6-kilometer mega dike with a mangrove which helps prevent flooding in the city during typhoons.

It has a road for joggers and bikers and an open space where families can do picnic and other activities. There are also stalls in the area that sell food and other products.

On Saturday, Feb. 10, Sandoval and Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benjamin Abalos led the "Kalinisan" clean-up drive in the mega dike. The program raises public awareness and engagement in environmental responsibilities through effective waste management practices.

Around 1,000 sacks of trash were collected in the area during the activity.
