★★★★★10 months agoTrès beau parc, calme et reposant. C’est un endroit parfait pour venir avec les enfants : il y a de l’espace pour jouer, courir et profiter de la nature en toute tranquillité. On y croise souvent des personnes qui promènent leurs chiens, ce qui donne une ambiance conviviale et agréable. Le parc est propre, bien entretenu et offre une vraie bouffée d’air frais au cœur de la ville. Idéal pour une balade en famille, lire un livre à l’ombre ou simplement profiter du silence.
