This picturesque urban park seamlessly blends natural beauty with recreational infrastructure, offering visitors a tranquil escape without leaving the city. The location has evolved into a focal point for community life, where residents and tourists gather to enjoy the waterfront atmosphere, particularly during the warmer months.Beach and Water Activities
The park's sandy beach is a major draw, featuring a thick layer of fine sand and a distinctive 100-metre-long bathing jetty that extends into the fjord. The beach facilities are well-maintained, with toilets, kiosks, and ice cream booths nearby, plus a supermarket within walking distance.
