The recreation ground at the Menzelet reservoir was laid out over 130,000 square metres, with green areas, arbours, barbecues, picnic tables, drinking fountains, children's play areas and car parks — planned, in the provincial directorate's words, around visitor comfort.
The draw is the wide view over the reservoir.
