The extensive landscaping of the park has led to pleasant paths snaking through flower gardens, grassy banks and natural forest areas. It is a favourite place for students to study, or just lounge on the grass, discussing great matters of the Empire. Children run amongst the paths and hide behind the sculptures in the gardens. Young lovers disappear into the Wunderkind Woods for secret trysts. Duels are fought, to the fascination of audiences who may have arrived especially for the spectacle or may just be passing through. | The extensive landscaping of the park has led to pleasant paths snaking through flower gardens, grassy banks and natural forest areas.
