★★★★★2 months agoAbsolutely stunning park — a hidden gem you don’t expect to find in the city. 🌹 Endless rows of vibrant roses in full bloom, beautifully arranged under elegant wooden arches covered in climbing flowers. Every corner feels like a postcard. The atmosphere is calm, peaceful, and incredibly refreshing — perfect if you want to escape noise, clear your mind, or just slow down for a while. If you’re into photography, this place is a goldmine. Natural light, colors, symmetry — everything works in your favor. Whether you’re coming for a walk, a photoshoot, or just to sit and breathe, this park delivers. Highly recommended — don’t miss it.

★★★★★11 months agoA very beautiful and quaint park outside of the centre. Don’t expect large crowds or parties on a Sunday, it’s a super relaxed and really delightful area. A lot of gorgeous nature and art to explore and areas to relax. It’s great for a stroll or relaxing in small groups. The noise is very little to none and it is truly an escape from the madness of the centre. Would recommend to anyone for a nice relaxing Sunday in nature without the hassle of having to travel far!
