Traveler reviews
Jonathan Stiansen (Jono)
★★★★★3 years agoAmazing views for anyone, and a great park for kids. Little shade. Snack bar right beside it - go even if you don’t have kids
Patrícia Almeida
★★★★★6 years agoUm excelente parque infantil acessível a pessoas com baixa mobilidade através de rampa adequada. O parque tem vários baloiços e está vedado com uma pequena cerca e portão. Os acompanhantes das crianças podem sentir-se no café - esplanada ao lado para vigiarem as crianças. Um local com uma vista fantástica.
