A beautiful park with stunning walks available. So much stunning foliage makes it nice and sheltered. It has a huge football field which is a great place to walk your dog, and there are often other dogs around so you meet a lot of friendly dog owners! One of my favourite things is the walks. There are many walks through the trees around the park (1st pic), and many adorable little clearings (2nd pic) and other things to find. It's very peaceful. Even though you aren't going that far, you feel like you're deep in nature. Luckily, it's hard to get lost, you just keep walking and eventually pop out in the green belt (3rd pic) around 150 m from the park entrance. This is a great and versatile large park, perfect for dog walking or just walking in general! A real little pocket of nature paradise in the city.
