Approaching Banyon Tree Park from a walkway, you get a sense of the size of the tree.
It's hard to imagine that one banyan tree can fill this entire park.
Prop roots stream down from the branches to add stability to the tree and allow it to grow to an impressive size.
The tree is like a jellyfish with thousands of tentacles hanging down from above.
In places the large branches are supported with wooden posts.
Climbing the tree is prohibited in order to ensure future generations can continue to enjoy this unique park.
Interpretive signs share the story of the tree, planted in 1873.
Come early during the week to enjoy the park in peace and quiet. By mid-morning, the park will be abuzz with activity.
