• Play area and garden kept apart, so adults can find a quiet bench while kids play
• No dogs in the play area, a city rule for this park, so plan for it if the family dog comes along
• Toilets on site, which makes a long afternoon easier with small kids

A former villa garden on the northern edge of the Stadtwald, now a city park of about 10 hectares. The play area is kept separate from the garden and built for under-12s: climbing castles, slides, swings, seesaws, sandpits, a merry-go-round and table tennis.

A big lawn draws older kids for football and frisbee, while clipped hedges and rhododendrons keep the garden side quiet.
