The park has a large play area next to a cafe that serves refreshments. There are tennis courts and a table tennis table.
The park is also well maintained and clean, giving an idyllic atmosphere wherever you go.
Be sure to check out Flos café. It has a fantastic vegan selection of truly scrumptious treats. Try to brownies!
The playgrounds are really good. Especially for kids 18 months - 6 years.
