It's super near! If you're walking 'a round' in the park, it will take you one hour. you'll pass a few playgrounds and places for coffee. At the far end is a place for renting skates. If you've just rented bikes and odn't feel very secure on it yet, try your cycling skills here. We go here for running or boxing!
