It's like taking a step back into the 60s set against one of the most beautiful park settings I've ever seen. Great for relaxing in the grass and people watching. Make sure to bring a camera! More

Huge park that is beautifully landscaped in the heart of the city. Best way to see it all is to ride a bike! More
