The park offers several opportunities for rest, as there are plenty of benches and tables. A pavilion is located in the heart of the park with numerous notices about local events. There's a playground for kids. A restroom is also available on site.

Sorry, I'd like to use the existing highlight. However, it's located on the front of the church, and I can't select it because I took the lakeside bike path behind the church. This way, everyone can now take pictures of the church from this side and include it in their highlights. However, if it's possible to move the original highlight a bit toward the center so it can be used from both sides, I would be very grateful.
