Traveler reviews
Elijah Clark
★★★★★4 months agoGreat park. Empty in the mornings and lively at night. Easy to walk though and very well maintained. Very nice gardens and views of the lake. There is also a free museum and an upscale restaurant tucked away in the middle of the park. . No or very little lighting at night unfortunately. Dogs are allowed on leash in the park and there is an off leash dog run nearby. There are walking only paths and paths that allow bikes. Great place for a short walk or a long picnic.
David Hutchinson
★★★★★2 months agoNice park with cafe. Relaxing trip on the free ferries (Geneva Transport Card) and the views of Geneva from ferries and in park make it a must do on a day trip to Geneva.
