Sanayeh Public Garden

Beirut


A very well-maintained public park with soothing greenery and water, this has playground equipment for the kids to let off steam, and plenty of paved paths perfect for in-line skating. You can rent bikes at the southern entrance, the only one open at time of research, but, little 'uns apart, it's not really big enough to do much riding within the park.
