Traveler reviews
Alexandru Mircea
★★★★★2 months agoA park right next to the center of the city. Has trees with shade, coffee bar and kids playground. Ideal for families.
Peter Orfankos
★★★★★4 years agoBrilliant park in the city. If your looking for a bit of green in the city, this is definitely your place. The kids playground is well kept, so everything is in working order. There’s a cafe/canteen in the park too in case you want a drink, something to drink or don’t have kids. It’s definitely a nice place to go for a walk and relax for a bit.
