Jacks Ridge Davao City
If you are lucky enough to come to Davao City one of the places I suggest you need to visit is a place called Jacks Ridge which set high up on a hill looks down on the beautiful Davao City and its Gulf and all the surroundings.
During the day time there its very quiet and you can almost have the swimming pool to yourself and partake at the restaurants with a view to die for. At night its very livey and boasts good music and a great atmosphere and is very popular with the locals who have money.
The Ridge has a children’s playground even what appears to be a mock up of a World War Two plane simulated in a crash position by the swimming pool which certainly gets your attention. There is evidence that a new hotel will also be built on the site and already you can hire small cottages that over look the City. from its vantage point of Shrine Hills in the Matina district.
Here is a link to the official web page JACKS RIDGE
The recent history of Jacks Ridge includes the fall of the Japanese in world war two by the Americans who outmanoeuvred them

I assure you I am in love with Davao and over he last four years I note that Jacks Ridge is almost deserted in the daytime now. Not sure why that has happened?
