Nice piece of green in the city. Perhaps not the best park if you are looking for a quiet place as we can here the busy tramline, the train station and the road downhill. However, it is a nice park for those living nearby and it can still be well appreciated.

A lovely part of the city with a fantastic view of the city centre. Amazing depth can be found here between the landscape! 🙏 Early morning sun rises and late sunsets are a good one for this spot. 👌
