The recreation area in the district of Winterhude has remained Hamburg's green oasis and a public park, just as it was intended by its founders. In summer, the Stadtparksee becomes an open-air pool – separate from this, you can also go pedal boating and rowing boats. If that is too strenuous for you, you can also steer your model boat in the pond of the same name. With more than 150 hectares, Hamburg's city park is a real "multicultural location". On beautiful weekends, more than 200,000 visitors often come here to take advantage of the wide range of leisure activities and do sports, have a barbecue, make music or just relax. A shallow pool of water is particularly pleasing to small water rats. The woods, bushes and embankments are home to a large number of native and immigrant animal and plant species, and in summer the open-air stage invites you to interesting open-air concerts: from rock to folk, well-known artists from all over the world always like to come to "the park". Cafes, restaurants and the Planetarium Hamburg. There are of course also cafés and restaurants in and around the city park, which entice guests with small snacks and delicacies. Very popular for evening events is the "Schumachers" beer garden, which is located directly at the Stadtparksee outdoor pool. Other locations to relax are the beer garden "Landhaus Walter", "Café Sommerterrassen" and "Die Bucht".
The planetarium in the former water tower is always worth a visit: In addition to a unique journey through the universe, it also regularly offers wonderful children's documentaries and chill evenings.
