M. “Tasse Du Matin”
★★★★★3 years agoI love the gazebo (I love gazebos). Really great for group pictures. On Hannukah, the Chabad community usually lights a giant Hannukiah there and the (comsistorial, not Chabad; theirs is at the Meinau) synagogue's side wall is illuminated. There's also an ice cream parlour/restaurant nearby if that's your thing. There are also swings and other games for children inside the park itself.

★★★★★11 months agoLovely well maintained park ideal for dog walking in the city centre. Plenty of bins available to keep the park clean, and also ample benches in the shade to take a rest and enjoy nature.
