Too crowded for my taste. Couldn't find a quiet spot anywhere on a Saturday. Street vendors are aggressive. Felt more like a tourist trap than a relaxing green space.

Wonderfully accessible! Used a wheelchair and had no trouble navigating the main paths. The ramps are well-maintained and staff were helpful.

One of my favorite parks in the city! Beautiful greenery, well-maintained paths, and friendly atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough.

Tried to work here once. Found a bench but it's not ideal - no tables and the WiFi from nearby cafes is spotty. Ok for reading or casual browsing, not for serious work.

Perfect for a family picnic. There's a sandbox, swings, and even a splash pad for hot days. The restrooms are clean and there are changing facilities. Stroller-friendly paths throughout.

Brought my kids here and they had a blast! The playground is amazing and well-maintained. Safe walking paths with no traffic. Lots of families here - you can tell it's designed with children in mind.

Love the vibrant energy here. Packed with joggers, cyclists, and tourists. Not the place for solitude but perfect for socializing.

Always busy and lively! Great atmosphere if you like people-watching, but don't expect a quiet retreat. Street performers and food vendors everywhere.
