Traveler reviews
Tobias Müller
★★★★★9 years agoEin schöner Kinderspielplatz mit Klettergerüsten, Rutsche, Karussell, Nestschaukel und - zugegebenermaßen - recht kleinem Sandkasten mit kleiner Kleinkindrutsche. Dazu wurde noch ein Volleyballnetz gespannt und es gibt eine holprige "Kegelbahn". Weiter Richtung altem Elbarm sind dann zwei Tischtennisplatten, Grünflächen sowie ein Fußballfeld im Toren. Empfehlen würde ich zwischen einem Alter von ca. 3-15 Jahren.

★★★★★Edited 3 years agoThere is a good Greenland next to this park and is good for dogs being free. But be careful, I saw a deer today and my dog was chasing it as I chasing my dog 🐶🐕
