A big grassy meadow in front if you're interested in that... There is a block-like collection of statues with fountains that you can run through; you can go to the park in your swimsuit and run through the fountains if you desire--I don't know if they're still functional, though... The playground used to have a traditional wood playground with a BIG HUGE slide and big swings. And there was long see-saw with three joints so that the whole thing looked like an M (or a W). It was neat. But there isn't any of that anymore. The new playground now is "safe" and babyish.
