Traveler reviews
Matt Ward
★★★★★3 months agoClean and vibrant park area with lots of food and drink/ice cream options. Several nice spots to sit and relax too, with great views onto the river.
Zoltan
★★★★★a year agoWell maintained, nice and peaceful part of the city. Feels like an "upperclass" park for the everyday people. There is a nice beach here with free entry, but you get to consume something inside in exchange.
