The General Santos Park within the city central site is a unique destination. It is undergoing a massive refurbishment and is slated to re-open the second semester of 2009.


Thru the efforts of the General Paulino Santos Foundation, the General Paulino Santos Museum was established in honor of the late Army general and administrator of the National Land Settlement Administration (NLSA).

The privately-owned Sarangani Highlands at Barangay Tambler is a must-see place in the city. The view deck provides a good sight of Sarangani Bay at sunset. At dusk, it is a terrific attraction. The pavement and boardwalk are constructed with stamped concrete.
