Gulliver's Travels Park

There was once a river which ran between the old and new cities.  The river was diverted and the river bed was converted into a series of parks, gardens, and exercise trails.  The following pictures are from these parks.

This was a place we knew we had to visit when we first researched Valencia.   It is a large statue of Gulliver lying in the sand with slides and stairs to climb up.  The kids had a great time playing on this as did Brent and I.

This is a  photo of the inside of Gulliver's giant size hat showing a small scale model of the actual 

play structure.

Too bad you couldn't enjoy the giant as much as we did!

  
Right past the Gulliver park in the same river bed is an exercise park which are very common in Spain.  We think they are brilliant.
 

Meant for adults, but they were fun for our kids. 

We walked from our Hotel in Valencia to the Gullivers Park and the City of Art and Sciences  walking past this palm tree that the kids thought they were supposed to swing on.  Maybe it was the sign?
