Fascinating park that used to be an estate. Remnants of the past including old bent iron fences, large trees planted by the estate, sections of forest, meadows, a creek, everything one needs for a quick nature escape from the city.

Really peaceful park with some adorable landscape. Relaxing climbs and paths were well built.
