Went for a walk here for the first time, usually would have driven past. I was definitely missing out, a beautiful piece of nature amongst the urban chaos. Lots of birds/ducks, play park was busy and looked quite modern too. Nice walk around the lakes.

Love this park! Wish would have more time to visit that place. Top of the park is a great playground for little ones.

Amazing sight with children's playing ground and plenty of birds on the pool while people juggle, fish, and walk around the pools, really awesome 👌🏿.
