Parent Break with a View
While the kids set sail and dive into their own stories, parents can relax on one of the many benches around the playground – all with a direct view of the lake. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, the water sparkles in the background, seagulls glide by. It’s the kind of place that invites you to breathe deeply and unwind while the little ones burn off energy. There’s even space for a spontaneous picnic – blanket, snacks, lake breeze included.
