INTRODUCTION
“Sa Ikauunlad Ng Bayan, Bisikleta Ang Kailangan” or in English “For
the progress of the city, bicycle is needed.” This was an urban legend at the time
of Martial Law when radio and television host, Ariel Ureta, literally biked the
whole Camp Crame as punishment for his joke which is originally stated as “Sa
Ikauunlad ng Bayan, Disiplina Ang Kailangan”. However, this joke has sense and
is somehow true that bicycle is needed for the progress of a country (Nishimori,
2012).

one of the most energy-efficient modes of travel. It is one of the cheapest way of
getting from a place to another place. It is just that the person have to use his
own energy as a fuel to move from point A to point B. It is also the simplest way

In Collins Dictionary Online (n.d), a theme park is a vast open air place
where individuals pay to go to live it up. All the diverse exercises in a theme park
in the 21st century. Theme parks play a vital role in the tourism aspect. It is
widely studied in the world (Guo, 2014). The idea of theme parks cannot be
confined, nowadays, from the thought appeared by Walt Disney when on 17 July
told, as Lanqua holds, with Disney came the introduction of 'general stores of
leisure, places for the creation and utilization of free time, flat-rate price,
layers of product. Products, experiences and the people itself are the vital
ADAMSON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE PAGE 17
players of the theme parks. The first layer is the atmosphere, hype or the
excitement of the theme park that makes the tourists visit the park. The second
layer is what people see, the supporting product or the tangible part. These are
composed of the rides, shows, brand name and quality of service, attractions
and the interactions of the people within the park. Lastly, the third layer is the
fulfilling and satisfying. This incorporates all the extra administrations and offices
that improve the guests' feels, and they are both substantial and elusive in
nature. Examples of these are the ancillary services such as on-site transport,
facilities for the people with special needs and disabilities, lockers for the visitors
Birenboim, Clavé, Russo and Shoval (2013) contended that theme park
attractions are arranged into five primary composes: shows, rides food
restaurants, shops and gaming activities. They found that the majority of the
guests go the rides first when in the wake of entering the recreation center.
Shows are moderately less alluring than the rides. They have a tendency to
return to their most loved rides again and go shopping before leaving the
recreation center.
The children’s desire to go the park is one of the main reasons why
visitors visit the theme parks. It is one way of the parents to have a bonding time
ADAMSON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE PAGE 18
with their children. It creates a fun feeling for them when they see their children
are having fun. The children have different preference of fun depending on their
age groups. For children ages from 13-16, they like a more adventurous feeling
than the others. Even though the children are the main focus of the theme
parks, adults also should not be taken out the context. Some of them would
want to go to theme parks because of the nostalgia feeling. It lets them feel that
they are young again. Visitors often seek for the variety of products. It means
that they are aware that there is something new and exciting they want to revisit
way of planning in which the physical features and services are provided to the
number of incoming visitors. In theme park planning, the supply and demands of
the tourists are taken into consideration. Market analysis may give an insight on
what are the needs and wants of the visitors. (Raluca and Gina, 2008)
The weather and climate are factors of the success of a theme park.
Weather affects the activities inside the theme park and it influences the supply
and demand of the consumers’ choice. But these factors can also be taken into
consideration to still continue the economic activity in the theme parks. (Joo,

New tracks are now constructed based on the metric distance of cycling
events: 250m track is 4 laps = 1km 333.333m track is 3 laps = 1km 500m
Small tracks are utilized for indoor preparing offices and in multi-reason
advancements.
ADAMSON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE PAGE 25
The mainstream sizes for small tracks are 166.666m (6 laps = 1km) and
200m (5 laps = 1km). For big competitions and Olympic Games, the
class delegate groups are prepared, tracks are raced in a 250m track
There are numerous 400m tracks in presence around the globe and
the game's heritage and can provide food for the expansion in
recreational cycling.
Older tracks are marked for redevelopment and will have some changes
The popularity of the 250m track comes from the way that hustling on it
is more staggering than on the bigger 333.333m track. The plan offers better
dashing lines for cyclists, and observers feel they are nearer to the activity on the
littler size track. The 250m track is the better of the two alternatives to
manufacture inside a velodrome. The advantage of the smaller tracks are the
lower cost of the building to house it and the audience. There is, however, a
need for several indoor cycle tracks to be built as training facilities. The price of

500 people. The 250m track is desirable for the national elite cyclists training.
2.1.4.2.4. Lighting
There are two key lighting destinations for this best in class velodrome.
First is to give the required illuminance and the best shading vibe and second is
to guarantee lighting makes the velodrome an inviting home. Avoiding the glare
of the parquet is one of the goals in lighting a velodrome. Too much reflections
concentrated and broad optics and two exchanging levels must be utilized with
the end goal to adjust the lighting to the design and the diverse surfaces to be lit.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
needs in creating a bicycle theme park with cycling sports and training
the related literatures and case studies were done, and a survey with a
park with cycling sports and training center that depicts enjoyment and
recreation at the same time being healthy with the use of bicycles.
Facilities like BMX trails, mountain bike flow trails, velodrome, bicycle
museum, bicycle shops, food courts and facilities that can let them cycle
around are mostly the choices that interest the respondents. Aesthetics,
around the buildings are mostly the preferred architectural design elements
that interest the respondents. Passive cooling, green walls, solar panels and
louvers can help minimize the usage of the energy according to the case
project.

5.2 CONCLUSION
with cycling sports and training center can help boost the cycling movement
of the city. Creating the said project can create new attractions and facilities
that is bike- friendly such as bicycle themed rides, bicycle museum, bike trails
BMX Pump tracks, bike shops, mountain bike flow trails, and multifunctional
indoor velodrome arena can educate the people about the deeper
and professional cyclists visiting Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna, create a strong
number of public cyclists and can be a venue for local competitions for them
to compete. This can create more competitive cyclists that can represent
their regions not just in the national stage but also internationally.
Creating buildings that the people can cycle around it, stop to a
facility then park their bicycle within their area can create lesser injury risk
amenities that can ensure the safety of the cyclists and non-cyclists.
Providing facilities which has bicycle parking alongside it, can let the visitors
feel secured with regards to the storage of their bikes. Using green strategies
such as tropical design, passive cooling, vertical gardens, the use of louvers
depending on its sun orientation and the use of solar panels can lessen the
ADAMSON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE PAGE 158
impact on the environment and can minimize the usage of energy that can
5.3 RECOMMENDATION
Analyze its solar paths, wind paths and other natural features to
use of vertical louvers for east and west parts of the site and
horizontal louvers for south and north part can lessen the heat
taste so they can have new experience that they may share to
and also the economic aspect of the project. This will also
