Traveler reviews
Nishant Upadhyay
★★★★★a year agoFantastic place for a walk and run . Also have a nice wooden deck to do a picnic . No toilet facilities nearby. The deck is wheelchair accessible.
Yasemin Şentürk
★★★★★3 months agoThe park doesn’t have the cleanest air, as there is often a noticeable metallic and chemical smell coming from nearby scrapyard-like areas. The abundance of nettles also gives a hint that the air quality may not always be ideal. I wouldn’t recommend it for frequent use, such as regularly taking children there or going for runs. However, it’s still a pleasant spot to stop by occasionally—for a short picnic, a bike ride, or a brief walk. There is also a small pond; although the water lilies are past their season, it must look beautiful when they are in bloom. Overall, I would recommend it: 4/5 ⭐
