The park is a popular destination for both tourists and locals. Here there is often full activity with people who have an excursion with their own picnic, but there are also many concerts and events that are arranged here.
In the small part of the park there is also Belgrade Zoo which is also a popular tourist destination and a unique zoo that is over 80 years old.
