Traveler reviews
Emir Çelebi
★★★★★3 years agoOne of the well-known german parks. Great trees casts large shadows so that visitors can enjoy any time of a day. Playground to the south is really fun for kids
Ben Moll
★★★★★5 years agoNice park in the early morning hours for some training. Good to meet there for aiki jo training and bokken training. Love that it's relatively quiet here except for the playground. During the day there are lots of families with their kids around and in the late evening drunken folks.
