Lovely little park and splash park for younger kids. Gets busy on hot days but lots of great memories here with our son. There is a refreshment stand but I'm not sure when it opens and closes. Toilets are clean and plentiful. Parking is cheap.
Lovely place to bring young kids. There are water fountains that make for good fun.
Right in the center of the town, there is the perfect park for spending time on a sunny day. It is especially nice to come here with children and babies. Dozens of mothers with baby strollers in the place will testify to this. On the day we were there, there were several classes of school children. When we arrived they sat and listened to the teachers. Towards noon, they took off their uniforms and entered the shallow pool in bathing suits. At the entrance to the garden, you can see some old photos of the place are displayed, as well as of the children in bathing suits from the 40's and 50's having fun in the pool. The garden is dedicated to one of the founding fathers of the town. You can read about it at the entrance to the garden. When I was in the park I felt how the green color enveloped me from all sides. The trees are huge and shade part of the park. There is a playground for children. With a climbing device made of ropes. Swings of different types and more. My grandchildren had a great time. By the pool there is a kiosk in a beautiful architectural structure. Back in the 40's, they spent time thinking about the small details, that the structure would look beautiful and not just be functional. The place also has toilets.
We got to the park fairly late afternoon on our first visit, so it wasn't quite looking its best. Also, the whole splash pool is not open yet so a lot of people were bundled down the play area end. All emptied out S it got later...! Small car park located nearby, and not far at all from town centre.
We are regulars here as it is our local park, it has everything you need for a park, play areas that are regularly maintained, a kiosk for drinks, toilets and at the height of summer a paddling pool. There are shaded areas but you can also bring your own.
