The increased number of visitors can, in part, be attributed periodically organised events including 43 societal initiatives and 19 recreational initiatives by the Municipality.

Meanwhile, facilities that help to draw visitors include car parks, free seating, play areas, picnic locations with BBQ areas, hiking and cycling trails, horse riding arenas and sports facilities, such as tennis and basketball courts.
