Parque Gulliver
Overview
Antiguo cauce del Turia Valencia, ValenciaThe gardens are located on the old river bed which ran through the city, and here is the Gulliver's children's park.
Description
The Jardines del Turia are located in the former riverbed of the River Turia. The river used to flood regularly, and after a particularly bad flood in 1957 approval was given for the river to be diverted away from the city centre. Since then, the 7km long river bed has been transformed into a mixture of playing fields, cycling & walking paths, and gardens. There is also a bizarre looking children's playground just near the City of Arts & Sciences.
The Jardines del Turia are a relaxing place for a walk if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Nearest metro: Turia or Alameda.
