Traveler reviews
Shir Brill
★★★★★a year agoBeautiful park to play around with kids, do some sports, and also just chill. Many squirrels around. In the autumn, the leaves' colors are just pure beauty. Highly recommended any time of the year.
Marija Sovilj
★★★★★2 years agoThe park is great for relaxation, jogging, barbecue. In the park you can see squirrels and storks. There are also large playgrounds for children. From the city center you can reach it by tram 3. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed even on a leash.
