★★★★★Edited a year agoThis park is beautiful ❤️, I usually go there biking or with my daughter as there are 3 spots for kids. Full of squirrels and ducks, and very well maintained. It has parking in the back entrance so it's also possible to go by car.

★★★★★Edited 3 years agoGood relax place for children and adults, you can watch ducks and geese, jog, just relax in the shade or ride children on a swing. In general, you can run a lot, play and jump in the fresh air, and also sit on the grass and do nothing 😄
