DESCRIPTION
This park is located in the ancient location of the Turia River and it covers an area of 35 hectares. The park is divided into four sectors: a viewing platform, a typical forest and a Mediterranean garden with a large lake, a Biopark (zoo) an a amusement park. This metropolitan park recreates the original landscape of the Turia river giving prominence to the water, which is present everywhere in the park surrounded by native vegetation, paths, etc.
The topography, with different contours of the land, manages to create intimate environments with extensive views. Paths for walking and biking, activities for kids, rest areas and grass areas for dogs are all over the park. It also include restrooms, a cafeteria, rental boats, a little beach and a future History Museum.
