These kinds of events always have a pleasant atmosphere, and Oxygen Park is an excellent location, where various outdoor activities can be enjoyed.

At Oxygen Park, children get to play in a large green spaces and enjoy different activities; at the same time, people can shop, walk around the various stalls, and eat. It’s convenient, there are plenty of facilities, and it’s well-lit in the evening. Every time I visit Education City, I feel it’s a major centre for recreational and cultural events.’
