Burnham Park, officially known as the Burnham Park Reservation, is a historic urban park located in downtown Baguio, Philippines. It was designed by eponymous American architect and Baguio city planner, Daniel Burnham.

Burnham Park was envisioned by American architect Daniel Hudson Burnham[2] as part of a larger plan for the city of Baguio in 1905.[3] After having presented the preliminary plans for Baguio and the capital city of Manila, Burnham left the task of interpreting such plans to William E. Parsons.[4] The area where Burnham Park is situated was formerly known as 'Baguio Meadow".

Burnham's role in establishing the park is acknowledged through a bust bearing his likeness and a plaque located at one end of the park.

The park's design is influenced from the City Beautiful movement; It has a small pond or lagoon situated at the green space's center and has regimented rows of grass and sidewalk.[6] According to the Baguio Heritage Foundation in 2014, only the open field often used for football and the Melvin Jones Grandstand adhere to Burnham's original design for the park.
