Spanning forested slopes with panoramic views of the city, it offers year-round activities like walking, cross-country skiing, sledding, and picnicking. The park features scenic belvederes, lakes, nature trails, and a famous Sunday tam-tam drum circle, making it a central hub for families and community gatherings.
