Traveler reviews
Sabine
★★★★★a year agoMuch better than I expected. Lots of different areas- pretty well maintained. I have a 4 year old that loves it and you can bring your dog as well (on leash). Flowers, trees, greenery and a lovely fountain. Benches and picnic tables. Also a small snack near the upper level.
Soraya B.
★★★★★7 years agoVery dry vegetation and too little shadow. A pity because it is a very big park with a fountain and it could be a little haven if freshness if properly designed. Won't go back, at least in summer.
