Huge park in the middle of the city . A lot of trails for walks and biking . Small sports facility for workouts. Great place to find stillness and quiet .

Check out the updated terrace near the southeast corner of the park . It's near the dog park , Huerta, has a children's area, friendly staff and relaxed ambience !

Utterly beautiful park that kids huge. There are museums , lakes to row in, along with plenty of room to play sports or have a picnic . Your day is just do much better when part of it is spent here.

In spring this huge park is absolutely gorgeous. The crystal palace has art exhibits , as well as the museum within the park . Perfect for sunbathing , working while sitting on grass, or picnicking .

Andrew Welch

The public park is an immense green space suited for long walks and snacks on cafe terraces . Consider renting a rowboat and spending 45 minutes plying the waters of the lake in the park 's center.
