Mostly children on the slides while the parents wait on the low wall by the single gate, birthday tables claimed early under the ring of pines on Saturdays, and skaters and scooters on the shaded flat by the bridge.
Picnicspine strip ringing the Gulliver bowl, south and east edge
The shaded pine ring around the bowl is Valencia's default kids' birthday venue — folding tables, cake, a tablecloth taped down, claimed early on Saturdays. The open grass in the middle gets left to people just killing time until their turn on the slides.

Skatingflat concrete apron between Gulliver and Pont del Regne de València
Scooter kids and skaters take the smooth flat right up against the bridge, not the open plaza — it's the only patch with shade for most of the afternoon. Ledges and the bridge abutment do the work; everyone else walks around it.

Kids playingGulliver's entrance gate and the low wall outside it, north side of the figure
There's only one way in, so the whole thing funnels through one gate — families cluster there and pour in the moment it reopens after the midday shutdown. Parents don't go in; they park themselves on the low wall and the steps outside and watch their kids do laps of the slides for an hour.
