A classic. I came here when I was a kid. It was a little more daring than it is now but it's much nicer and family friendly. Usually well maintained and keeps the kids busy for a few hours.

Really good place for small picnic. Specially kids will love it. Lots of slides and swings. Families can do small gathering over there to see good sun set.
