Reviews
"It is a very beautiful and fascinating place. You can go at any time of the day. You can take amazing photos there, go for a walk with your friends and have fun. It is a very peaceful place and you can watch the animals in their natural environment, there are ponds in the rather large park. it is a very impressive place, you should go even if nothing is done, you can go even just for a walk."
"Loved this visit. We enjoyed a pleasant afternoon stroll. The weather was pleasant and the park was nicely busy. Visitors were bathing, running, playing or like us just enjoying a walk. There were a small number of refreshment cabins which were reasonably priced. Deck chairs could be hired as well as pedalos. Worth a visit if you have never been there before."
"A beautiful place to be especially in Summers. This huge park is a great place to go with family, friends or just by yourself. It has a lot of cafes, playgrounds, cycle tracks and boating as well! It can get a bit crowded on weekends and on sunny days."
"Amazing park if you want to see some squirrels! The park is really huge so don't underestimate the distance to cross from one side of the park to the other. There are plenty of activities to do in the park, it's a great place to bring young children. There is a beautiful lake as well, with ducks."
"Excellent park! Huge, with lots of things to see and do. Lots of space available, in spite of its popularity and how busy it was, even on a weekday morning. Cycle paths (with bicycle hire available), picnic on the grass areas is possible, larger lake with many ducks, geese and swans. Horse riding tracks, and even a trough. Lots of little memorials and gardens dotted about. Cafes, with toilets, to rest and replenish at. I still have several more attractions and areas to explore there. A great place to relax and spend a few hours, or even pass the day. Whether it's by yourself, with a pet, a loved one, the family or friends. We were fortunate to have a great weather that morning. Ps. You might be lucky to catch the army training their soldiers to ride there some time like we did."
