The Park at River Walk is a public park that covers a sprawling area of 32 acres. The park has two lakes connected by a stream and an Amphitheatre known as the Bright House amphitheatre that resembles an island sandwiched between the lake and the river. The park also has a meandering Bike trail that runs around the entire stretch. The lower lake is a famous fishing spot where people come to spend a few hours during the weekends .

There are enough picnic tables around the park to find a spot for yourself and soak up some sun while the barbecues are ideal for having day out with family and friends over some good food. The bridges that are built over the stream make for a scenic place to click some fabulous photos while the surrounding lush-green terrain with native plants, colourful flowers and trees that form shaded pocket around the park, are perfect to unwind with a good book! Take a walk round the place, or simply rent a bike and explore the biking trails. Either ways, the park promises a relaxing time for visitors. On weekends, the place has a market with around 40 stalls where you can shop for local goods and try some fantastic street food.
