The following are just some of the great parks in the province of Nueva Ecija:

Diamond Park

San Jose City, Nueva Ecija

Strategically located at the gateway to the Cagayan Valley, Diamond Park is a favorite haven for picnickers and nature lovers. It features an unspoiled forest and a host of wildlife species. Upon reaching the top of its 100-step stairway, one is awed by a pagoda on a hilltop offering a panoramic view of northern part of Nueva Ecija. The Department of Tourism took part in the restoration and renovation of the forest park.

Freedom Park

San Jose City, Nueva Ecija

Located in front of the former provincial capitol, Freedom Park was aptly named in recognition of the province's glorious past and its contribution to the country's quest for freedom and democracy during the last world war. Filipino revolutionaries during the Spanish occupation considered Nueva Ecija a strategic site in their struggle against the enemies in view of its central geographic position in the region. The park is a favorite spot for picnickers and bystanders.

Minalungao National Park

Gapan City and Gen. Tinio, Nueva Ecija

Declared as a national park, Minalungao features a breathtaking view of the narrow but deep Penaranda river. On both side of the river bank one looks up 16 meters high limestone walls. The ridge formation of white sculptured limestone walls shows the might of the great river. A cave whose distance is yet to be reached features a yanking pit, ante chambers of flowing draperies of marvelous stones and a magnificent hall adorned with natural chandeliers of stalactites, drawing spelunkers to its wonder and challenge. During the summer months, young and old flock to the park to enjoy bathing in tempting cool and clear water of Minalungao. It is an hour drive from Cabanatuan City
