The Park, which is in a public place within a residential area in the city, has a playground for children and a neat covered area with a long bench.<\/p><p>Shirley Hart, a leader of the Filipino Community in Ballarat, said that they have been fortunate to have the City Council approve the Rizal Park.

Victoria had 13 goldfields at the height of Australia\u2019s \u201cgold rush\u201d and Ballarat was second only to Bendigo.<\/p><p>The Ballarat visit was capped by a short stop at the Asian store owned by Shirley and husband Shawn where all sorts of Asian goods such as Filipino bagoong, sardines, daing, snacks and other foodstuff are sold to Filipinos among the growing Asian community in the city.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee936d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ee936d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/melbournepcg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rizal3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7849\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melbournepcg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rizal3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/melbournepcg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rizal3-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/melbournepcg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rizal3-768x435.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The visiting team from Melbourne met with FilCom leaders in Ballarat, Victoria over lunch.
