Completed with jogging and walking paths, water coolers and rows of neatly-trimmed flowering shrubs and bushes. Between, also the wide fountain that incorporates a light show during the night. In addition, there is a free wading pool for children in the park, a welcome respite for families after a hot day.

At night, the Twin Towers become brightly light like a beacon in the middle of the city.
