Nice to come to visit the place during weekend if you don’t know where to go but want to chill outdoors a bit. Have some peacocks in the park and the garden view.Full review by Joi-2049

Yes, it is free. Take lots of film or a car charger for your camera or phone. You could do it in an hour, but the best experience is if you can spend several hours there, possibly, pack a small lunch and enjoy. Even small kids, if they are under control, will enjoy this. It is also a great place to put down a blanket and listen to music on your headphones. I love the place. Many more people there on the weekend, but I have never seen it crowded except when the park is reserved for special events. Enjoy!
