Traveler reviews
Ash V.
★★★★★a year agoVery busy on the weekends, but you can still always find enough space to feel like you've got your own area at least, be that on your own or in a group (one photo by the lake/pond shows how even at peak time, there wasnt much in front of me). Weekdays are my favourite though, it's basically empty, even on really sunny days. Definitely one of my favourite parks. Very family orientated making for a chilled/safe atmosphere.
