Traveler reviews
Julie K
★★★★★Edited 5 years agoIt's a wonderful park with a small lake in the middle. There's a place for barbabecue, a place for the children to play, also a soccer field next to it. It's very well located and very well conserved. It is a good place to sit, read a book, watch the landscape and appreciate peace. I recommend it.
