Almost 5 million cubic meters of soil and rock where transported, 36 bridges and arches built, 11 overpasses, the Belverdere castle, 51 sculptures and over 500 000 plantations. In the park live 275 species of migratory birds, 21 playgrounds, 6.5 miles of park drives and 4.5 miles of pathways. The traffic along the park drives is regulated and each drive has opening and closing times which can be found on the official web site of the park.
