It stands as a testament to the city's commitment to nature conservation and as a space that promotes well-being and connection with nature for its residents.

In summer, early mornings or the last hours of the afternoon are perfect for avoiding the heat. Winter, especially with snow, offers a different and magical landscape. If you are looking for peace and quiet, weekday mornings are usually less crowded.
