It is a good place, but when we went, there were no flowers or plants etc. Maybe it depends on the season. There is a bird sanctuary in the middle, but the lake and stuff were very dirty. There were different habitats on different sides and some Indigenous Artworks/ paintings. The playground was good, new, and it had stuff for younger kids. The walk itself was nice, and we saw some black swans and other species of birds.

Do recommend visiting, but maybe in spring or summer when the flowers and plants are blossoming.

The entry is free, and the botanical garden...
