★★★★★9 years agoBeing a European citizen I found it very interesting to take a run in this park during the weekend. It's interesting to see how the locals spend a lot of weekend time in the park. Kids are playing, adults walk the trails and some people fishing. Also, it is a nice park. I can really recommend a visit here!
