As the HafenCity grows more and more people will be looking for places to relax, and Lohsepark is…read morethe perfect place to do it. From creative and fun looking playgrounds to long grass fields, basketball court, football field, bike path and more, you will not be bored. Honestly great for all ages. If your in the area grab a lunch to go and sit on the sunny benches and enjoy.

A convenient place for a romantic walk in the evening, a sporty jog trot in the morning, a funky BBQ during the summertime or a nice hangout for the kids.

I fully agree with twisterella's comments on the romantic/sport offerings, sadly the ice-creme parlor is no more. (good ice-cream--it is missed). The canal provides plenty of canoe/paddle/tourist boat action--if that's what you're into! Go there, it's good.

Not much traffic we met 5 people on a sunny August Monday afternoon, but be aware of the sometimes speeding cyclists ;-) !! You can walk around the lake and the "Moor" easily in an hour, or spent much more if you follow each and every trail. Especially if you observe the cute little houses, with their accurate design and trimmed lawn (this is Germany ;-) and of course some garden gnomes of the "Kleingartenverein" parcels around the Moor.

Although it's super-close to the Schanze and St Pauli it's officially in Altona. One other oddity is that it's actually a graveyard. The guy cycling his espresso cart around is always there, and yes he always seems stoned - too much caffeine?

Walking through the areas of town considered by one such northerner to be worthy, I stumbled across Wohlerspark, and I was smitten immediately. There's nothing grandiose about the park; it's not big, has neither the grandeur of Planten un Blomen nor the size of the Stadtpark, lacks both lake and river frontage, and yet there's something sublime about this spot. An excellent place to start the day, or end an evening.
