Parks · Altona-Nord / Bahrenfeld
Hamburg's largest public park at about 205 hectares, mixing woodland, meadows, a rose garden and walking trails. It holds three large fenced Hundeauslaufzonen, making it the city's top destination for legal off-leash romping.
More woodland and fewer tourists than the Stadtpark, with three fenced runs and long forest trails.
Hamburg's Hundegesetz requires leashing (max 2 m) everywhere except the official fenced Hundeauslaufzonen; three of them sit inside this park. Waste pickup is mandatory citywide with fines, and woodland trails stay quiet even on weekends.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
