• Maulwurfshausen adventure playground sits at the far east end of the park, so head there first if climbing is the plan
• Barbecue zone by the lake in the northwest corner, busy with families and groups on summer days
• Winter sledding hill about 10 minutes on foot from Michaelibad U-Bahn, steeper in the middle and gentle at the edges

Ostpark spreads over 56 hectares around a lake with an island, quieter than the city's other big parks. Kids find Maulwurfshausen adventure playground at the east end, a skate park, table tennis and volleyball, and a barbecue zone by the lake. The Michaeligarten beer garden sits on the shore.

In winter the lake draws ice skaters, the hill becomes a sledding run, and a groomed cross-country ski trail follows the water.
