Every now and then is faced with some area also paved with stones, which form small niches or small squares where you can sit to enjoy nature or read in a local environment and pleasant climate. At the top, there is a dense forest, which is a forest and ecological reserve. There is also a track where it is possible to go into the forest to reach the top of the hill slope on which the park is located.

Across the pond, you can watch the Jockey Club, Botanical Gardens, and the Rowing Stadium of the Lagoon.
