We felt it wasn't maintained the way it used to be before the Juan storm, but it's a nice park for jogging, biking and for families and dogs. More

No washrooms, no places to eat or sit. Dangerous to enter alone because you're soon in the middle of nowhere and could be attacked without anyone nearby to help. More

A good relief from city life. Haligonians come here to enjoy the sea breezes that are calmed by the trees. An excellent walking and pausing park. Plan to spend a few hours in tranquility. More
