Great garden. Free to visit, and plenty of parking. Is in within the City amazing view. But some area doesn't have/weak internet connection. If only internet coverage is bigger then it will be great.

The onl...

A very spacious garden, neatly maintained and perfect for a refreshing escape in the middle of the city. Many people come here to jog or exercise, with long tracks available for walking or running. The big lake adds to the fresh atmosphere and makes the whole place feel even more relaxing. A great spot to recharge and enjoy nature.
