Traveler reviews
Rono Stinnett
★★★★★a year agoBeautiful park filled old trees, flowers and sculptures from some well known artists. Well, worth the trek out to stroll and take in the art probably one of the more interesting parks in the world.
Thomas Geoffrey
★★★★★4 years agoA delightful public space with a wide assortment of mainly early/mid-20thC sculptures set in beautiful park land. The cafe terrace was a particular positive on what was a sunny afternoon: good selection of hot snacks, beers and coffees. High recommend and will certainly visit again!
