Local tips

- Seek out the 'Singing Trees'—look for the plaques and see if you can play some of the donated music.
- Bring a picnic or purchase snacks from food stalls during festival weekends; benches and lawns are plentiful.
- The park is well-lit and welcoming in evenings, but some sculptures are better viewed by daylight for detail.
