The fountains are constructed from concrete and illuminated with colored lights during evening hours. The park also contains landscaped areas with trees and grass.

Parking is available within the park's designated areas, though it can be limited during peak hours.

Historical & Ecological Origin

The park was originally constructed in 1929 as a sports complex and later underwent a significant renovation and transformation into the "Magic Water Circuit" which opened in 2007. The water circuit utilizes a complex system of pumps and filtration to recirculate water for its numerous fountains.
