Tubig-Loon Spring Park

Overview

Tubig-Loon Spring Park, per the Municipality of Loon’s own tourism page, is built around a spring water source located north of the nucleus barangay of Napo — the spring from which, per local etymology, the town’s name Loon is said to derive. The park has two main pools: a lazy-river-style pool suited to leisurely swimming and picnics, and a separate Olympic-size pool reserved for swim training and competitions. A local travel blog (boundbohol.com) additionally describes a smaller children’s pool (shallow, for young kids) alongside the larger swimmers’ pool, shaded cabanas, and picnic areas.

Location

Barangay Cogon Norte, Loon, Bohol, behind the Loon Municipal Hall complex. Loon is a municipality in northwestern Bohol, approximately 28 km from Tagbilaran City.

Getting There

From Tagbilaran City (Dao Terminal), take a bus approximately 28 km north to the Loon Municipal Hall. From there, hire a habal-habal or tricycle to Tubig-Loon Spring Park (typical fare Php 15–20), or walk along Sevilla Street at the back of the Municipal Hall complex, following signage to the park.

Practical Info

• Facilities: lazy-river pool, Olympic-size training/competition pool, and (per boundbohol.com) a separate children’s pool, shaded cabanas, and picnic areas.
• Entrance fees and operating hours are not confirmed in sources found; confirm current rates and hours locally, for example at the Loon Municipal Hall, before visiting.

What to Expect

A spring-fed park with multiple pools — a leisurely lazy-river pool, a children’s pool, and an Olympic-size pool for swim training/competitions — with shaded rest areas and pathways suited to family visits and picnics.

The park’s name carries the town’s own origin story: per the Municipality of Loon’s own tourism materials, this spring source north of Napo is the one local etymology credits as the origin of the town’s name, “Loon,” itself. Whether or not that etymology is the literal historical record, it is the account the municipality tells, and it gives the park a civic significance beyond its pools — this is presented locally as the water that gave the town its name, not simply a municipal recreation facility that happens to sit on a spring.

Building a municipal swim-training pool alongside a leisure pool reflects a common pattern in Bohol’s smaller towns, where public swimming facilities double as youth sports infrastructure — Olympic-size pools of this kind typically host school swim meets and local competitions rather than functioning purely as a tourist draw, with the leisure and children’s pools carrying the recreational side for residents and visiting families. Locating the park directly behind the Municipal Hall, rather than out toward the coast, also keeps it accessible on foot for Loon’s town-center residents without requiring a special trip.

Loon’s other spring-fed site, Danicop-Ticugan Springs in Barangay Ticugan, gives the municipality two natural freshwater features within a short drive of each other — a combination unusual enough among Bohol’s coastal towns, most of which lean entirely on sea-facing beaches, that local tourism materials often suggest pairing a visit to both in one day alongside the heritage church and coral stairway in the town center.

Notes

• Loon is also home to Danicop-Ticugan Springs, meaning the municipality has at least two spring-based attractions; a combined visit may be practical.
• The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Luz in Loon is a heritage site and can be paired with a visit to the spring park, both being in/near the town center.
