Traveler reviews
dino Joseph
★★★★★4 years agoNice place to visit and spend some quality time with family or friends. The beauty is the leaves in the trees. But in winter trees are leafeless. Summer is the best time.
Katarína Garajová
★★★★★8 years agoCute little park. Very good for running and sports. It has a small playground too, so it's good for visitting with children.
