Traveler reviews
M T
★★★★★7 years agoA pleasant park, beautiful during any season of the year. Small playground for children, a small lake with ducks and benches around the lake.
Bryan Da Silva
★★★★★a year agoThere's a great dog park with a hill and lots of space. Sometimes people prefer to be in there with their dog alone so there's pressure to leave, but in general, the dog park is great. There's also a 5v5 soccer pitch and lots or grassy areas and benches around to relax, both in the shade and in the sun.
