“Possibly one of the lesser maintained spots in the beautiful gardens, but very glad to have something that looks a lot more natural in its outlook. Needs better signage as some others have pointed out, as one could go around in circles a bit since the walking loops don't connect to the onward trails.”

“Serene, calm environment. Surrounded by lush greenery, this makes for a good run/ walk. Family friendly too, with various nooks and crannies to explore. Boardwalks, treetop walks, rocks to climb over and hide behind, lakeside dais. Goo addition to botanic gardens.”
