★★★★★Edited 6 years agoEin sehr schöner und großer Spielplatz mitten im Wald. Gut mit dem Bus bzw Auto erreichbar. Großer Parkplatz.

★★★★★3 years agoToller Ort für Groß und Klein, super angebunden, riesen Parkplatz gleich drunter mit Toilettenanlage. Gelände ist großräumig und bietet von standard Spielgeräten über einen Barfußpfad, bis hin zu einem Wald- und Erforschlehrpfad an. Da kein Straßenlärm hörbar ist, lässt es sich sehr gut erholen.
