Great place to let your dogs run and play!

What a peaceful and serene Park, we went there with kids and there were so many things to captivate them like the belly of the ducks and the flying pigeons around over the pond and different monuments. If you are lucky you can see blue heron, pelecons, etc. It's well managed, need and clean place for a walk or jogging or spending some time there. It also offers a lot for history geeks.
