A good urban park is judged by how easy it is to reach on foot, and by whether its paths, seating and shade suit a short walk as well as a longer one. Many visitors come for a quick loop with a dog or a child, so the state of the paths after rain is worth checking. Parks often mix open grass, trees and play areas, and the best time to visit depends on whether you want quiet or company. When choosing one, look at the paths, the seating and whether bins and toilets are nearby.
Its Botanical Road location makes it a handy green space for a walk in Takaro.
