    Beautiful park with plenty of areas for different types of activities and a good place to bring kids with you. There are multiple interesting playgrounds for kids. Sometimes there are some shows or plays for kids.

    ★★★★★Edited 5 years ago

    Best playground for kids in town. We spent hours here and we wanted to stay more (if only we could). Plus, it's all new and comfortable to reach by bike.
