Julianna Pintér
★★★★★6 years agoA very nice playground at the Citadel, perfect location to play and then have an amazing view on the whole city. Finally we tried it with our 1,5-year toddler. It was so worth it. We went there in February and in the morning that’s why it was almost empty but I’m sure it is much busier in warmer time ☺️ 👌 big space with creative tools to play with 👌they have swing where the parent can sit on it at the same time and swing together with the kid! 🥰❤️ 👌you can play chess ♟ with big figures or just carry them like our little son 😂 There is an explanation of the game on the fence if someone wants to refresh their chess-memories ☺️ 👌i love that there are a lot of trees 👌we really liked the cartoon figures they are so cute and look real 👌they have different tunnels that the children can safely use 👌i like the wooden playground climbing frames than the metal. So it is very good. They are also in good condition which is very important 👌it is free 🥰 👌fence is around the playground and the door can be closed, it is safe 👌there also table with benches so you can sit down with your kids and eat, very comfortable 👌everything is comfortable already for a 1,5-year old, the climbing frames, stairs, slides are not too big or dangerous VERY MUCH RECOMMENDED 👆 👆if you enjoyed my comment and pictures, press like on them in google maps ☺️ thank you

★★★★★5 years agoIt is a very nice playground in the hill. The environment and air are good. It is worthy to come here with kids in the morning. After it, visiting Gellert hill, Cerka-firka playground, Gellerthegy Jubileumi park and Citadella viragos Kert only takes walking distance. It is good for a family to spend a day as a program here.
