Has countless dogs running around in the weekends, if you love dogs you must go there because I don't think it is common to see any capital city that allow such no. of dogs to run around free in huge park.
Walking down, you will find cafe buena vista where you get to enjoy fantastic view outdoor.
Walking up you will be seeing parachutes!

In front of my house there are tailors, bodegas, technicians etc. but I like discovering Peru more by coming to traditional place with wider variety that open my eyes to new things.
But don't carry there luxury purse, jewels because this is Peru.

Shopping
You can find everything cheaper on this side before you cross the bridge. Sundays there is bioferia here too.
Difference from the one near park is that there are quite touristy things you could buy as well. Like pots and baskets, you name all.
IF you cross the bridge you will find inka market that sells silver and alpaca too.
