★★★★★ — J, Jun 2018

…There's a brand new track as well as a year old playground for the kids. I feel fortunate to have this park so close to home. In the summer they have concerts and art shows.

★★★★★ — Jackee, Apr 2018

…There's also a professional running tracks and some other walkways through the park where you can run. Furthermore a beautiful playground for the kids. During the weekends it can be quite busy here, so parking space can be limited.
