Megaworld's township in Pampanga blends sustainability, culture, and community

In San Fernando, Capital Town Bridges the Old and the New

Property Report recently attended the media tour of Megaworld's Capital Town in San Fernando, Pampanga. There's something magnetic about this place. One feels the unmistakable charm of San Fernando—but elevated. Megaworld's 35.6-hectare township doesn't erase the past; it reimagines it, creating a community where culture thrives alongside modern living.

Blending the Old and the New Capital Town is not about replacing the old with the new—it's about bringing them together in ways that make life more vibrant. From its neo-classical architecture to community-first planning, it's clear that this is a place built with thought and heart. The township pulses with a rhythm that's distinctly Kapampangan—lively, warm, and proud.

Anchored by residential towers, commercial hubs, and tourism-forward landmarks, Capital Town is shaping up to be a new center of gravity in Central Luzon—a place where people don't just stay; they live fully.

A Green Heart for the Community One of the most exciting new features of the township is the Capital Town Rainwater Park—a two-hectare landscaped open space that redefines what a community park can be. More than just a place to relax or stroll, it's an example of how infrastructure can be purposeful, sustainable, and beautiful all at once.

Built with dual functionality in mind, the Rainwater Park was designed to offer year-round enjoyment. The park welcomes all kinds of activity—kids weaving through play areas, joggers tracing the path around the lagoon, friends meeting by the belvedere, and everyday moments unfolding beneath the shade of trees. There is also an amphitheater for events and performances.
