★★★★★7 years agoA very nice and tidy park for family picnic, BBQ, children playground. Recommendations are full for this nice Ghent park.

★★★★★Edited 2 years agoLocal parc, a stone throw away from the busy Ghent ring. There's a youth association present and they have a small club house. My 12 year old had fun playing basketball with local kids there. There is also a small skatepark and enough space to find a quiet corner too relax or picnic Good mox between crowded and Fun, for kids
