Traveler reviews
Thorvaldur Konradsson
★★★★★8 years agoGood place to take your child and let them loose on the attractions. Has a lot of young men without their t-shirts in summertime. Maybe that's what young people do these days. Take of their t-shirts and hang out together.

★★★★★9 years agoGreat park with lots of outdoor facilities for use. Playgrounds , water stations, benches, fountains, and easy access to the park from many sides of the park. One or two schools seem to be in the middle but kids come out for 15 intervals around 3pm. Otherwise the park is clean and had a lot of visitors throughout the day! Great for young kids.
