β€œWhat a charming little park! Colorful flowers and tall palm trees sway gently in the breeze, accompanied by the sweet scent of osmanthus blossoms. Locals can be seen relaxing on the grass, enjoying picnics with friends, or playing with their childrenβ€”it's truly a lovely spot to unwind. The children's playground is a particular highlight, full of whimsical and imaginative features: ceramic sculptures, a dinosaur-shaped speaking tube, small animal-themed wooden seats, handpans, and tiny xylophones… There's even a fairytale-like restroom adorned with stained glass and a sculpted lizard winding around the exterior. It's truly a magical place.”

β€œThe Botanical gardens are exceptionally beautiful and I found that they were relatively quiet and not overcrowded. There's a fantastic diversity of flora and lots of shade in seats situated throughout the park. I would like to see it open at night time. Sometimes especially lit up with events or perhaps choirs. It would also be a great place to hold nature studies for school groups to encourage our children to become lovers of the planet.”

β€œIt was beautiful. Manicured lawns and well tended plants and trees. Peaceful walking with my sister. The paths are flat and suitable for all abilities and wheelchairs. We looked at the children's playground and it was full of exquisite details for the children to explore.”
