Well worth a visit , places to see & listen to birds . The flora & fauna is amazing regardless the time of year . It would be outstanding at the peak of the flowering season. If a restful and relaxing spot you seek this would be the preferred environment.
Has great potential, but not very well maintained. Very minimal signage. Don't be expecting to see a sign indicating the type of plant/flower for most species. Labyrinth was very cool though and gave off Harry Potter vibes.
Great value for the money. Relaxed park with a lot of birds
