About Us
How We Got Started
In the midst of the pandemic’s isolation, the concept of Syringa Park took root in the minds of Darin and Lisa Doliveira. Their journey began during the mandated daily walks, accompanied by their children and faithful rescue dogs, traversing the expansive grounds alongside the Crocodile River within Avianto Estate.
Immersed in the tranquility of their surroundings during these lockdown strolls, they were struck by the profound beauty enveloping their estate. It was amidst this serene backdrop that the seeds of an idea were sown—to create more than just a market. They envisioned a multifaceted space, one destined to be a cultural hub—a place for gastronomic experiences, leisurely picnics, and much more.
What started as a mere concept swiftly evolved into a burgeoning aspiration. Syringa Park transcended its initial design as a market, transforming into a nexus of diverse experiences. It stands now as a testament to the harmonious blend of natural splendor and human ingenuity—a venue where artistry flourishes, culinary aromas waft, and shared moments become timeless.
There is no entrance fee to Syringa Park, however MiFitness Kids Play Park and Epic Karting have their own rates. Kindly contact them directly for more information pertaining to their service and offering.
