People often like to do sports here, especially jogging around the lake, riding a bike, and in the summer they go boating on the “lake” In the summer you can often see large families with children having picnics lying on the grass🏕 There is a good playground area 🎠🛝🎡 A good opportunity to walk with your dogs🐶🐯 There are also local restaurants with Armenian cuisine, with a viranda and a gazebo🍝🍷 The only negative is that the pond sometimes smells very bad and I stopped going there, but there are a lot of advantages 😔
