Nice green space. Lots of walking trails and art along the way. There was a small visitor center with an area with some souvenirs, but not much.

Lovely area. Kept nice and clean. Few sculptures and statues to see and lovely area to sit and watch the river. Good place to start or end a canal walk

Beautiful, well-maintained and a quiet park across the White River canal. Vast green grass ground gives the feel of smooth woollen blanket on the earth, giving a soothing experience when one walks on bare foot. People come in group or as couple or alone but...Read More

There's not really a bad seat in the whole venue. Acoustics and sound system are good. Access to food, drinks,...Read More
