You can get away from the reality of the urban city centre and surround yourself with nature as you walk, play or sit down and read a good book.

It is also the ideal place to meet friends, play sports or just chat. It is very common to see people doing sport alone and running within the park.

It is the perfect environment, surrounded by trees and birds where you can let your thoughts wander, it's also a place to look for inspiration, since it is common to see people painting or writing there.

Of course, there are also areas for children, as in any park.

And there are also areas where you can take your dog for a walk or ride a bike.
