Steven Johnson
★★★★★4 months agoGreat park southeast of downtown Lucerne that is well worth exploring! Beautiful flowers, lots of locals relaxing or exercising, fancy port o pots, and a lakeside stroll.

★★★★★4 months agoNow this is a beautiful park with great views of lake on one side and snow clad mountains on the other. It has a large meadow and many benches to sit and have your lunch. Its about 20 min walk from the train station but its worth it.
