The park is an excellent place for physical activities of all kinds - walking, jogging, cycling, kissing, etc. You can also come and join a game of football/basketball at almost any time. The park is clean (but the river is not; do not swim!) and except for a few small parts is very well lit at night. One unique local custom is to tie balloons to the trees to claim a spot for picnics or parties later in the day. It is possible to rent a canoe on the river.
