Traveler reviews
Bastian Scholz
★★★★★Edited 8 years agoBeautiful park quite close to the Main River (no direct access to the river). Especially when the riverbank is crowded a nice place to go to and enjoy the sun - much more relaxed. With the newly opened restaurant providing hot and cold beverages and great cake, definitely a place to visit. Also suitable for kids and no worries they fall into the river.
Regan Anderson
★★★★★3 years agoLoved this park, second home to my mates and I. Spent many a hour playing cards and having drinks. Loved the serenity. Would recommend, cosy grass. Take a friend and enjoy!
