A premier green space where you can feed the ducks, set up a picnic, or eat at the child-friendly African theme restaurant Moyo. Popular with walkers and runners, and just about everyone else. Hire a rowing boat and visit the fountain and protected bird island. There are two large jungle gyms and play areas for smaller and older kids. Ice-cream sellers roam the place and vendors sell kids toys and novelties.

On summer weekends families and big groups of people intent on a good time swell the place. The music can get a bit too loud then and visitors tend to trash the grounds before the regular Monday cleanups. Best to visit with young families during the week.
