Location and directions:
If you are traveling by car, you should go to one of the surrounding parking garages, as there are only a very small number of street parking spaces available. It is therefore recommended to use public transport. All entrances to the park can be reached from the stops in just a few minutes.
There are sufficient parking spaces for bicycles not far from the entrances. In the park itself, the bike must be pushed out of consideration for other visitors.
Description
This green lung of Hamburg covers an area of 45 hectares. Extensive green areas are pleasantly shaded by impressive trees. Beautifully landscaped plant borders and flower beds structure the area and ensure a varied design. Lakes and babbling streams run through the park and create islands of relaxation. The many seating furniture, often placed in particularly quiet, cozy places, are not only used by employees of the surrounding companies to relax.
Integrated into the park is Europe's largest Japanese Garden, an island of tranquility in the middle of the urban jungle designed according to the rules of Asian garden art. The rose and apothecary gardens with their variety of scents and colors are further visitor magnets. Lovers of exotic plants will get their money's worth in the display greenhouses. The community gardens with their seasonally changing appearance invite you to stroll and linger.
Tip
The extensive playgrounds, equipped with a wide variety of equipment, are extremely popular with children of all ages. You can do your laps for free on Germany's largest open-air ice rink, which becomes a skate park in summer. Mini golf, trampoline and outdoor chess complete the sporting offerings for the whole family.
