Traveler reviews
Guy Simard
★★★★★2 months agoAmazing park. Lots of shade, it's even a dedicated "climate comfort" zone where you can escape the heat a little. Two ponds present diverse wildlife. Sitting here is quite frankly amazing and relaxing. Don't be shocked if you see dead birds - this is unfortunately common, but city staff cleans everything up daily.
Tom Harrison
★★★★★2 weeks agoA lovey park near the docklands. Ideal for grabbing a bit of shade on a hot day.
