The story of Capital Town begins where another once thrived. On the same grounds where the Pampanga Sugar Development Company (PASUDECO) powered generations of Kapampangans, a new kind of growth is taking shape, one that doesn’t erase the past but builds upon it.

The Rainwater Park is a lush retreat that doubles as a flood-control basin, holding up to 7,500 cubic meters of rainwater.

Megaworld Corporation’s 35.6-hectare township in San Fernando, Pampanga, is more than just a modern central business district; it’s a continuation of a legacy. Blending neo-classical architecture with mixed-use spaces, cultural institutions, and walkable streets, Capital Town honors what once was while shaping what’s next, rooted in heritage, driven by sustainability, and designed for the future.

Among the township’s newest features is the Capital Town Rainwater Park, a two-hectare green space that does more than beautify the area. Designed to serve both recreational and environmental functions, the park welcomes families and visitors during the dry months with landscaped gardens, a man-made lagoon, water fountains, a mini football field, children’s playground, amphitheater, belvedere, and a viewing deck.

An amphitheater for events, performances, and community gatherings in the park.

When the rains arrive, the park takes on a different role. It collects and reuses rainwater to nourish its foliage and helps manage stormwater runoff. With a capacity of up to 7,500 cubic meters, it acts as a retention basin, reducing the risk of flooding in surrounding areas by gradually releasing water into the nearby Santo Niño Creek.

The Rainwater Park sits alongside other key township landmarks like the Clock Tower, the Shophouse District, and the province’s largest McDonald’s store. It reflects Megaworld’s commitment to sustainability and community-driven development by providing a space where nature, leisure, and infrastructure work in harmony.

Eugene Lozano, senior vice president for sales and marketing of Megaworld Pampanga, shares how the park plays a larger role in the township’s vision. “We are very happy to see Capital Town continue to draw people as a major tourist destination, not only in the City of San Fernando but throughout the province of Pampanga. As a new and unique attraction here in our township, this Rainwater Park fulfills a higher purpose beyond just being a facility that brings together the entire community. We are delighted to fulfill our part in helping promote tourism and making San Fernando a thriving and livable city for Kapampangans.”

Bryant Parklane's co-working space-inspired lobby, designed similarly to Google's offices, aims to foster a sense of community among younger millennials and is the first of its kind in the country.

The township continues to grow as a residential hub with Bryant Parklane, a 16-story condominium featuring a co-working space-inspired lobby and 77 parking slots. All 463 studio and one-bedroom units are already sold out, with turnover scheduled within the year. It joins Chelsea Parkplace, Montrose Parkview, and Saint-Marcel Residences, bringing Capital Town’s total launched residential units to over 1,300. Complementing the residential growth is the fully leased four-story Pasudeco Tower, a LEED-registered office development offering nearly 11,000 square meters of gross leasable space.

Capital Town by Megaworld doesn’t just build over what once stood; it carries the story forward.
