Big fan of these tennis courts. I was really surprised we only had to wait about 10-15 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. The courts are well maintained and there’s restrooms and water fountains right outside

Tiene baños públicos limpios, gimnasio abierto, canchas deportivas de tennis, basketball y football o soccer, área de juegos infantiles (playground) y zonas verdes perfectas para un picnic. También hay bancos para descansar, sombras, y una vista muy agradable al río.

Es un excelente punto para caminar en bicicleta, correr o simplemente disfrutar del atardecer. Muy recomendado para locales y visitantes. La...
