Talk about a walk into nature... Steep stairs lead all the way down to a leafy green enclosed place, while there is a lot of food traffic, which keeps you feeling like you are still connected... It's incredible that this place exists in the middle of the city!

Never fail to meet a friendly dog or two here, and if you're an early riser, the quiet of the walks is definitely something to be appreciated.

If, you're like me and prefer a more leisurely noon time stroll... The sun peeking through the leaves when it's highest in the sky is wonderfully welcoming!

A fantastic...
