During this 90-minute walk, we’ll take you on a journey through the park’s long history. What began as a riverside estate, a vegetable garden, and a somewhat cultivated, marshy riverbed has since become a beloved city park and the city’s largest green national monument. Despite rising water levels, the city’s development into a metropolis, the needs of city residents, and the interests of city governments, the estate continues to expand in both height and width, evolving into a public walking area of national significance.
