The park's name refers to the defensive artillery cannons installed on this promontory in the 18th century to protect the coast.
The park houses original vintage cannons that were decommissioned and repurposed as historical monuments within the landscape.
The artificial lake system is powered by recycled water, reflecting an emphasis on sustainable park management.
The onsite carousel is a classic Venetian-style ride that operates as a nod to traditional fairground heritage.
The bunkers, once used for ammunition storage and military logistics, were restored to be accessible to the public during park hours.
