Super huge park with lakes , where you can find peace or have a picnic . Enough of garbage cans,which is amazing. Not recommend to visit it super late .

This park is huge and has so much to offer. Go for a bike ride , have a picnic , sit by the water, and grab food a drink from the cafe . It's always nice here and you're so close to great food.

Thomas Gouard

A lovely park , with an ample number of activities available within. It is easy to walk or run its paths and just get lost in the beauty of nature, and its features within, specifically its lagoons .
