★★★★★3 weeks agoThe park is beautifully kept, there is both shady and sunny spots available, and benches to relax on. We enjoyed feeding the ducks. There is a playground area, beach sand the surface. Sand toys will enhance the fun
Marcel Selfer
★★★★★4 months agoNice park in the center of the city. Especially on weekend nice meeting point for kids of the community. There is also a restaurant/bar now under new ownership. So far only drinks, but its nice to sit, enjoy a beer and let the kids play
