An ideal park for a picnic or for playing sports. Excellent security. The water lily garden within the research center is a must-see.

The place has a lot of potentials but unfortunately it was not designed well. Although I enjoyed watching urban wildlife there, the garden itself was not that much good. The entrance fee was 500 drams which was reasonable.
