Visitors frequently praise the large, old trees and the ample space available for group picnics and BBQs. The terrain is described as quite hilly and steep, making it a popular spot for those looking for a strenuous hike or a good workout. While the atmosphere is generally described as calm and quiet, some reviewers mentioned encountering wild dogs and advised caution. There is a well-maintained kids' area, but several guests noted that the on-site cafe services are overpriced and of lower quality.
