We didn't have a lot of time to explore this beautiful park here in Copenhagen, but the areas we…read morewalked through were gorgeous. It is advertised as a romantic garden park, and that name seems very appropriate. There is lush, beautiful green everywhere, with flowering plants throughout. Several little lakes and cute bridges are found throughout. Swans, ducks, geese, pigeons, and seagulls were found in many places.There was an area for kids with many young families gathered for some special event the night we were there. At another part of the park, it looked like people were arriving for a concert of some kind later that night. There were a lot of people enjoying the park, but it never felt overwhelmingly crowded, as the park is so big. If I lived in Copenhagen, this park would be a regular for me.

In the western part of Copenhagen is a yellow castle from 1699. Tours are offered inside, but…read morewhat's popular for even locals is wandering the massive gardens outside.

We loved coming to Norrebro and seeing/exploring this neighborhood.

This park is honestly just a big park with lines on the ground, but it was fun to walk the park and see the local children play.

Danish parks are perfect and Superkilen is no exception. Unique benches, playgrounds and trails,…read moreSuperkilen incorporates aspects from the diverse neighborhood it's in. For example, there's a fountain inspired by Morocco. They also have areas for skateboarders, bicyclists, etc. If you love design, this one photographs well with quirky lines painted on the ground.

So it's December and dark and I'm day-dreaming of long days and dock jumping at Islands Brygge…read more Not to stereotype or anything, but this is definitely where the beautiful Danes hang out during the summer the second it's above 18 degrees (celsius). The families tend to stay closest to the gated bathing areas (havnebadet), while the 20/30-somethings are in the middle near the "badebro" just after Kulturhuset. All areas are jam-packed on the warm summer afternoons, and by mid-August the ground is basically dirt and covered with cigarette buds, but it's still my all-time favorite place to spend a warm summer afternoon. Hourly dips in the canal (points for fanciest dives!) are an absolute must. Don't forget your beer, én-gangs-grill, and pølser, if you want the true Danish experience. Officially counting down the days until summer 2014.

Søndermarken is yet another glorious Copenhagen park, across the street from the larger…read moreFrederiksberg Have. While the Frederiksberg Have is big enough to have an actual castle, Søndermarken is also impressive and enormous. I only saw one part of it, and it was the part containing The Cisterns, a reservoir/dripstone cave/subterranean art exhibition space that once held the city's drinking water. Nothing you could hide under a humble neighborhood park where I live. We came here on rented bikes, and it was nice to ride through this glorious scenery. The path was smooth and clean, and the lawn was an incredible uniform green. It seemed to extend for a mile, interrupted only by a fountain and the twin entrances to The Cisterns, which protruded like mini Louvre pyramids. We didn't spend much time in the actual park, but its beauty did not escape us. I'm glad The Cisterns enticed us here during our bike journey through Copenhagen.

A big park, good for jogging and walks with a lot of shade from trees. Although it's allowed, I…read morewould NOT recommend it for a picnic since dogs are allowed to run off-leash in over a third of the park and their owners may lose control of them or forget where they are allowed. If you want to have a picnic, just go across the street to Frederiksberg Have. Absolutely no grilling in either place! The toilets are close to the middle of the park and there is even a spot where you can peek in on the zoo for free. Great to have a nice big green oasis in the middle of Frederiksberg. It's open all the time but it is not well-lit at night.

Their is a big playground, mini golf (bring your own balls and putter), boulders for climbing, ballpark, and some strange looking statues. Best of all, it is neighbour to Assistensens Kirkegård, and you always have this great cemetery as background. You can look for the woodpickers and squirrels in the big old trees.

Folkets Park is People's Park in English, and it's really people's park. The housing in this area…read moreof Nørrebro is mainly social housing, and in Folkets Park it's easy to see, what kind of problems it creates - homeless sleep here during the early morning, the local drunks get their beers in the sun, people smoke and sell and so on, but the park is also a very vibrant place, with party, crossfit, great bars and restaurants nearby. You find a very small playground for the children. Most of the park is grass with a few trees. It's not a place for a quick football game. The main feature of the park is a wood bridge painted in bright colors.

Sure, it's very central, and kudos to the city for putting a playground on what must be pretty attractive real estate. And if you're nearby with a toddler in needs a bit of playtime, this is a good bet. But not really something I'd go out of my way for.
