Besides Spa Home, which was a kind of cultural centre of Bled, there was also a music pavilion in the Park, tennis courts and stalls with sweets. Due to its programme and culture variety the Park was very popular and visited, and in the music pavilion there was live music every day. Today they have in the park in the summer time stalls, where they sell home made products. In the Spa Park you can see the memorial plate for Arnold Rikli, which was raised at the 125th anniversary of Institute of Natural Healing in Bled.
