★★★★★a year agoCanaleta Park is a great place to relax! I really enjoyed sunbathing there, the green lawns are just perfect for it... 😍 There’s a cozy café nearby where you can have a glass of cold beer and soak up the atmosphere. We had an amazing time playing basketball on the nice court. Overall, it's an awesome spot to unwind, stay active, and just enjoy the moment!
