You can practice physical exercise in nature. Is a beautiful park. You can also go there to do a picnic.

Since we had a spare time we decided to give a try. probably because of the whole day very beutiful sceneries it seems to be a bit boring. But if I had another spare day we would probably goto explore this more deeply

Nice place to visit, bring friends and family and to spend time on pic-nic style. Wide areas with lots of green spaces. It is a big far from local access. You will need car to take you there.

Nice park. Go spend a few hours or half a day. Go to the view point at the far eastern corner of the park - it's well worth the climp up!

Lots of walking through the forests in a maze of trails. BBQ area to cook and lots of tables and benches to eat at. Great views of the island and ocean from the tower.
