This park was transformed from a charming spot into a local recreation area at the end of the 1920s. The clearly structured paths lead to an inviting circular square, perfect for relaxing strolls or outdoor events. The park's renovation in 2011 aimed to preserve the historic structures. Here, you can still admire the ancient oaks, beeches, and ash trees that give the park its spacious character. The central pavilion, built in 1934, is another eye-catcher. New plantings with perennials, grasses, and ferns add fresh accents, and the renovated paths and benches invite you to linger.
