★★★★★2 years agoThis place is our go-to place in Luzern. Right across the street from the Transport Museum. It has food, drinks, a beach, green spaces, an awesome kids playground, etc.

★★★★★a year agoA beautiful and peaceful park by the lake Lots of greens and trees, spaces for everyone on the grass overlooking the beautiful lake. It has a long path along the lake so it is great for taking a stroll, sightseeing, sunbathing, anything. The park is open access for all. We are foreign tourist and saw a lot of locals were there enjoying their time as well At some rest stop it has binoculars that you can use We went there june 2023, these photos were taken around 3pm, the weather was perfect
