The Reformation Wall is opposite the large building. There are sometimes processions to this garden from other parts of the city. There are multiple chess boards as well as a sand pit.

A very relaxing place to spend time in, and this whatever the time of the day or the time of year. Love also the regular photo exhibitions at the entrance. And of course the chess players.

Salsa parties in the restaurant, organized every other Sunday. It gets very crowded and due to the complete lack of air conditioning it gets super hot, even during the winter

If you're in park Bastion you definitely should try to play a giant chess game !... although the people around won't let you play without giving you advice every turn :-S

Schöner Platz zum Laufen, Joggen und Radfahren. Eignet sich auch für ein Picknick mit Freunden und der Familie. Es gibt hier einen schönen Spielplatz und ein Riesen-Schachspiel.

Vale a pena visitar, o acesso ao parque é através da Praça Nova aos pés das muralha erigidas no século XV que foi no início era conhecido por "O passeio dos Bastiões", depois virou parque.
