Waterfront Leisure

The shady trees provide a lush, cool area for families to picnic under while bicycle tracks allow avid cyclists to enjoy a session of cycling with friends.

There is also something for anglers, who can look forward to hooking their next catch at the park’s fishing promenades located around the 5-hectare pond. You can also choose to sit back and relax in the outdoor dining area of the restaurant located within the park.
