Beautiful park with lots of activities.On the park there is a playground, garden with plants and fish, tennis court, football pitch, bicycle tracks and many more. Parking is free. You can find an ice cream van everyday and there is a small cafe where you can buy a snack or a coffee. There are plenty of activities for the whole family, so come along and enjoy the day!!!
