You will find several people walking and jogging around the track and those who just want to enjoy the beauty of nature and having a picnic around the park. For the family reunions and company picnics, there is a pavilion available with tables provided that seats 100 people or more. A bandstand is available for those who want to provide entertainment during their picnic.
