This expansive 161-hectare parkland welcomes you with stately avenues, ancient heirloom trees, and a surprisingly rich biodiversity, all without ever sacrificing any agricultural land. You'll stroll past tranquil fishponds, open grasslands, and an educational zone with a natural water purification system, while the modern visitor center on stilts offers an added experience. Children can enjoy the playground, and dog lovers will find a large off-leash area.
