All the gate entrances to this park were closed of accept for the one entrance near the Skytrain station the reason for this was that they had security checking everyone's temperature before entering the park which , i thought was a brilliant idea keeping safe.

This huge green space park boasts a leafy jogging route or walking route depending on which you may prefer to be doing is up to you. I was amused on how they had these orange cones down the center of the jogging paths acting as social distancing what it has become..lol 😆

One thing i noticed in this park yesterday was many squirrels coming out of the woods and people feeding them they were actually taking food out of people's hands the one lady , i spoke to about this was saying these poor squirrels haven't seen humans around for nearly 2 months so all these poor little fellas where definitely hungry and not been shy about it certainly was amazing to see these little fellas so close up.

I noticed this park is right next to Chatuchak markets one of the biggest markets in the world , so it would be a perfect evening stroll after exhausting bargaining at the nearby Chatuchak Market to enjoy a bit of beautiful nature.
