★★★★★2 years agoNice variety, friendly space to walk and run. Very safe for the kids and the coffee shop is nice but little expensive

★★★★★Edited 2 years agoGorgeous gardens with lots of flowers and edible plants at the end, cute little froggie pond, quite a lot of monarch butterflies can be seen here. And it's an open public park (so it's free)
