Insider tips

The park paths are quite extensive; consider renting a bicycle or scooter if you intend to explore the entire area.

Bring mosquito repellent during the summer months, as the proximity to ponds can attract insects in the evening.

Visit the western section of the park for a quieter experience compared to the central recreational hubs.

What to avoid

Avoid relying solely on the park's internal signage for navigation, as some paths can be winding and confusing for first-time visitors.

Etiquette

No specific dress code, though athletic wear is encouraged; keep noise levels moderate in residential-adjacent areas.
