Because it's FREE and there are nice views of the bridges & Fort St. Andres!

The park is kind of on a slope, I guess it's mainly used as a passageway for people to walk through. There isn't a lot of grassy space for kids to run around in on the side near the Roman theater. There is a little playground on the other side of the main walkway up to the old city. The main walkway also has a small pool of water. It looks cool from a distance, but look closer and it looks very polluted. There is ice cream and restaurants a little further down the street. This is kind of the only greenery in the area though, so I guess people get their lunch to go and eat in the park. Don't miss one of the Van Gogh easels in the lower part of the park next to the locked gate.
