Traveler reviews
Mark Mueller
★★★★★7 years agoReally big and great playground by the river near the middle of town.. had a few hours to kill before our flight to New York and needed to burn off some of my daughters extra energy so went here. met another parent and kid here randomly and played for a couple of hours. Everything a child could need. If I'd know there was such a great water area I would have brought a Change of clothes. Next time..
Gloria Mihaylova
★★★★★a year agoIt’s a really good playground for all kids ages. There are benches in the shadow and enough space for many kids. It’s not super loud, not a touristy place.
