PLEASE feed the animals at the zoo!

Often referred to as the “lungs of the city”, this green forest oasis west of Split's old town area is a favorite amongst locals for hiking, biking, swimming, and rock climbing. The serene walk up to Telegrin peak includes 314 steps and rewards you with stunning panoramic views of the city and the Adriatic Sea. Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes, if not, there's always the tourist train that can take you straight to the top. Take your time to explore the other cool trails—pitstops include an old Jewish cemetery, quaint churches, cave dwellings, a museum dedicated to local sculptor Ivan Mestrovic, and some of Split's best beaches. – Tripadvisor

Beautiful views, peaceful nature
At first, I thought I might visit the park "if I had time...but probably not." Well, I ended up jogging there every morning before starting my day of sightseeing in the city and in the region. The park is huge and therefore offers a great escape from the people cramming the tight streets of ancient Split. There are well-marked paths and plenty of friendly locals who can point out the sights. There are also multiple overlooks culminating with the massive flag pole at the peak. There is a small zoo, ancient Jewish cemetery and cafe as well. If you venture further, you will run across a tiny medieval church and the likely-reconstructed cottage of a key historical character in Split history. It is true that the only way to access the park (other than by car, I guess) is via some pretty steep streets and steps but for me (and for my family), the climb was worth it!

Great views and exercise
Depending on your fitness this could vary in how long it takes to walk up. However the majority of people should manage even if they require to take it slowly. I wouldn't recommend doing this when the ground has been wet as the stones could be slippy. The views are excellent and worth the effort. You can either go up the main path to the top and then back down the same way, or if you are really ambitous you can walk around the perimeter, although that will take much longer. Even though there is a cafe/bar, I would still recommend taking refreshments with you especially when it is hot weather.
