Favored by families and wedding parties, the park boasts rolling green lawns, lakes with fountains, rose gardens, children's playgrounds, and a small amphitheater. Take a jog along the running track, or simply stroll the tree-lined pathways and soak in the atmosphere.

A lovely place to take a walk in. You can bring a light meal and enjoy a quick picnic in the weekend. If you are into sports, there is a running track, bicycles to rent. There are free football stadium, basketball, tennis and a volleyball courts. You can also find a beautiful library, a gym, closed and open swimming pool. The park also contains a couple free ping pong tables and outside working out equipments. There is a 5 star restaurant and more than two dozen food carts. There is way more than what I mentioned in this review but for me none of them worth more than the lovely people who a visit it.
