Gaston Park

Gaston Park is just beside the San Augustin Cathedral. It was named after Segundo Gaston, first mayor of Cagayan de Oro. The local revolutionaries used this place as their training ground in preparation for the Phil-American War in 1900. The Augustinian Recollect Missionary built the San Augustin Cathedral in 1624. The said church was destroyed four times and finally was restructured in 1946. Inside the church are the priceless stained glasses.
