Traveler reviews
Exotic Atom
★★★★★5 years agoCouple of BBQs, several tables, trees casting shadow, toilets close by and no residential buildings, makes it excellent spot for get-together events.
Michele Brini
★★★★★5 years agoThe park Is amazing. First time here and i saw a lot of people jogging or with dogs. Also families with children. The sun was nice and the grass fresh. Spending afternoon there is something everyone has to do because is pretty comfortable. I love the place where you could grill meat and the ping pong table
