★★★★★5 years agoQuite a charming little neighbourhood park. It has a wonderful playground for kids to play in, a small place for football (no grass and no net on the goals), and a small walking trail. There are plenty of benches (some even with tables) and nice grassy areas for a picnic. There are no toilets in the park though, which may be an issue during Corona when the surrounding establishments are closed. This is not a big park in any way, but a good one for when you live in or close to this neighbourhood.

★★★★★Edited 6 years agoGreat bushy park with marvellous playground and cafe on the corner where you can order your drink. Children love it but it's hard to oversee so make agreements where to find your kid. A sad thing so many people don't clean up themselves when they meet up there. Please care for your environment and take your own garbage and sigarette ends
