This square has been thoroughly renovated in the second half of 2015 (or so I've been told) and the…read moreresults are excellent. There are two great play areas for kids with swings, climbing objects, etc. Both areas have the nice soft base material where a fall won't hurt. The rest of the square / park has: - a workout area (sadly a couple of the features are already broken, but maybe they'll get repaired?); - a fountain area flush with the surface that's a great play area on hot days; - lots of smooth pavers that are great for skateboarding and bicycling; - many shaded benches great for picnics or to cozy up with your love; and - a good surrounding sidewalk for walks and runs. At night I've seen police keeping an eye out so it should be safe too. You can buy a snack or cold drink from one of the street vendors. Definitely one of the best parks in BH city.

GREAT SUNSET VIEWS!!!…read more If you want to get the views of entire Belo Metropolis area while enjoying the stunning sunset, this is the place for you. The park is open from Dusk to Dawn. The gated location is easily accessible by Uber followed by a short walk to the viewing area. There is NO entry fee which is always a plus. The area is clean, safe and family friendly. However the only thing missing is there are no food stalls. So plan to bring drinking water and snacks to enjoy with the view! There are public restrooms but those are not too clean either. Overall a little inconvenient but the views definitely make up for it!

You can only get here conveniently by car, and even then it is still a bit of a steep walk to arrive at the view point. It isn't the biggest area, but there is usually plenty of space for everyone to stake out a spot at the railing and wait for the disk to drop. There is a bathroom but otherwise no facilities, so bring something to snack or eat if you plan to stay a while.
