"A beautiful, spacious green park — perfect for walking, jogging, or simply relaxing. It has thoughtfully placed resting spots and exercise equipment, making it especially friendly for the elderly. There's also a small play area for kids, along with little ponds and water features that add to the calm atmosphere. Don't miss the musical fountain show in the evenings."

"I absolutely do not recommend this place. Right from the entrance, the security guard was rude, yelling and scaring my children. Apparently, photography is not allowed, but there were no signs indicating that. Inside, everything is overgrown and neglected — nothing works. My daughters were kicked out of the sports area, even though no one else was there. On the way out, a guard demanded money for no clear reason. The only memorable thing was a huge beehive hanging from a tree. The whole experience was extremely disappointing."

"Park area is very big! Good for daily walking during day time! No lights in most of the corners and that would be scary and make it not safe place for people who walks alone! Colorful bridges which is very attractive. Could have maintained in a better-way!!"
