Traveler reviews
Jamie B
★★★★★a year agoA pleasant little park with some nice sculptures. It was a peaceful location, clean and well kept. I rushed around d it in less than 15-minutes but it really warranted a slower pace. There is a cafe next door (western side near the river) too. If you can get to the park I recommend fitting it into your schedule. I cycled there from the main bahnhof in 12 minutes.
Murilo Lima
★★★★★a year agoDespite some bad reviews about the art quality that some friends and I read here, we bet it would be a good place to visit, then it came over our low expectations! We really enjoyed the park, there’s a lot of interesting artworks to observe. If you are into art we consider a must go!
