Traveler reviews
Vera Gieseke
★★★★★8 years agoNice place to hang around or go for a (short) walk. There is a playground for children and a fountain, also benches to sit down. It's a calm place, sometimes small events take place here. We like to go here with our little one and play ball.
Nick Reviews
★★★★★3 years agoNice little park, connects two roads at different heights so it acts as a sort of shortcut.
