Reviews

By far one of the best parks I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere is calming and peaceful, haven’t seen many people roaming around. The absolute paradise for an introvert like me :) The pond area has a cozy little cafe with awesome food and very affordable prices (but be prepared, they accept cash only!!! :
