• No toilets on the common, so use the ones at Islands Brygge, Byskoven or Ved Slusen before heading in
• Lunch shelters and grill spots around the common, with two grills on the east side by Ørestad Boulevard
• Swimming spot at Byskoven for a dip on warm days, plus a drinking fountain at DR Byen station

Amager Fælled is a former military training ground turned protected nature area of meadows, scrub, marsh and lakes. Highland cattle and Exmoor ponies graze here, roe deer raise their fawns, and frogs croak loudly in spring.

Kids can fly kites, build dens from branches, and climb the three hills for a view of the city center. In winter the hills are good for sledding.
