Traveler reviews
Khi Noes
★★★★★6 years agoParc avec des contes via un flash code (petite sirène, vilain petit canard)! Parc ombragé plutôt grand pour un square de quartier avec de la place pour courir et s'amuser. Il y a une fontaine, pas mal de bancs à l'ombre, une sculpture atypique, une balançoire à plusieurs, des animaux sur ressorts et 2 zones de jeux. Il y en a une plutôt pour les petits en forme de bateau avec un toboggan, une barre hélicoïdale pour descendre, un mur incliné d'escalade et plutôt bien décorée. La seconde zone de jeux est plus por des plus grands avec 2 toboggans non métalliques rattachés à un parcours de cordes.

★★★★★2 months agoUn joli parc proche des habitants idéal pour les petits Enfants, sans faire des kilomètres pour s'échapper de la ville. Superbe.
