It's quite well kept, even in winter, and busy enough to feel fairly safe. However, we walked around the park to see the birds and the wildlife, and didn't expect to see so many MASSIVE rats!! I wouldn't scoff at one or two, because it's nature, and it can't always be controlled, but there must have been upwards of thirty. I would avoid going at dusk, or be ready to run a little bit, as they definiteky aren't shy!
