Burnham Park is located along a stretch of roads leading to Camp John Hay Base now known as a popular resort hotel in Baguio. It is a scenic park overlooking the city and Mount Cabuyao (the tallest mountain in the Baguio region). This park contains many different species of plants and wildlife. More than 10 species of pine were recorded here, including the rare Philippine Pine. Among the wildlife there are squirrels, owls, eagles and the common myna. At one time Philippine Eagles were sighted nesting in the south phase of the park. When the 1990 Luzon earthquake killed more than 100 people in Baguio and destroyed many homes, including the Hyatt Hotel, many people who were displaced ended up taking shelter in Burnham Park.
