A smaller but pleasant park, about 1 mile west of the river, in the 11th district, South Buda. One of the reasons to check out this park is the opportunity to do some hills. There are a few paths in the park, a pond, and a pleasant, curvy running track. A loop around the perimeter is about 1.2 km (0.8 miles).
The park also has basketball, table-tennis, and soccer fields. Run the hill and enjoy the artwork of Kiss István titled “Monda”. The fancy metro station is worth the trip.
