Resource access level
It is recommended to wear comfortable footwear for walking along the riverbank, bring swimwear and sun protection in summer, and use the picnic and grassy areas while keeping the environment clean. Visitors should follow safety indications regarding bathing areas and depths, and consider combining the visit with riverside walks or nearby routes starting from the park.
During summer months, the area can become very crowded and parking may fill up quickly, so it is advisable to arrive early and take extra care in bathing areas, especially with children. After heavy rainfall or during periods of high water flow, the river may have stronger currents, so visitors should avoid restricted areas and never dive where the depth is unknown.
