City Park in Hamburg

Hamburg's city park was opened in 1914 and appeared due to the expansion of the city and the absorption of the surrounding forests and garden farms.

During World War II, the park was used as an anti-aircraft site, was heavily bombed and almost all the buildings were destroyed, including the town hall.  During the harsh post-war winters, trees were cut down to get wood for heating. Some buildings did survive, but the destroyed ones were not rebuilt and a temporary shelter was organized on the territory. Only since 1995 has the park started to be cared for, and parts are regularly restored.

There is a nice playground in the park, and in summer a shallow, children's water pond. Though even adults will have a lot of fun on these huge swings.
