★★★★★a month agoAmazing experience, place to be for a nice swim or just chill near the park. Clean, natural water, good organisation. Read the rules regarding swimwear beforehand! I'll post it here, if you're not in line with the rules you can't swim! Very strict policy 👍 Great location nevertheless.

★★★★★a month agoCute little park away from the city! Perfect escape for a hot sunny day! Ice cream shop and restaurant located in the park itself. To swim is free and alternates every 15mins which is plenty of time for me.
