General Park, that accentuate the area's natural beauty while acting

Gigantic dinosaurs suddenly appear from nowhere in this quiet neighborhood. Dinosaur Park, with its field athletics, open grassy areas and wading pools, bustles with parents and children during weekends and holidays.

Each May, this 2.2-kilometer promenade becomes a unique walking path, abounding with the sweet fragrance of blooming acacia trees. The promenade plays host to the Acacia Romantic Festival, held each spring.
