This is a very nice park. There are a lot of entertainment especially for the kids. It is a perfect place where to spend some hours.

Took a few minutes to walk around on the way to shopping. It was worth my while. Good to get back to nature and feel like you are in the countryside.

It's a beautiful in the city. Very wide and there's a zoo nearby that you can visit. I like this place. Peaceful and less crowded.

Very nice place but everything inside is expensive. 0.5 lt water was like 1.2$. Just a water bro. I can’t even imagine about having a dinner there. But except that was a nice and lovely place

The park's territory is so big, very nice, clean and full of joy. You can rent a bike in the park and pay cashless, the detailed instruction is provided. The Zoo is also there, but you pay for it separately.
