Traveler reviews
Julia Strelnykova
★★★★★7 years agoA great park to go for sports. There are enough space for everyone - soccer players, yoga practice, runners, frisbi or just to go fir a walk or a family picnic. There are also 2 cafes to chill, so you won't stay hungry. If you climb the hill, you may catch a sunset and nice view. Take 608 bus fir public transportation or ask google maps for a short way if you go by car.
Cookie Chan
