Traveler reviews
Christie
★★★★★3 months agoreally lovely playground in nature. there’s a small hill where children can run up and down, a sandpit with water, swings, and plenty of space for picnics. there’s also a round water feature, which was turned off when we visited; probably because it wasn’t warm enough yet. definitely a place we’ll come back to :)
