English Garden playgrounds – the complete overview

The English Garden with its many playgrounds and great open meadows for running around is a paradise for children and parents. Here you will find a complete overview of the English Garden playgrounds and the beer garden playgrounds.

Perfect for families and children – the English Garden

Where else in the city can you walk so freely without having to watch out for cars, cyclists and other traffic? There are lots of playgrounds in the English Garden. You can’t do that in one day:

A walk without a visit to the playground is almost unthinkable with children

The playgrounds in the northern part:

  • Hirschau beer garden playground with a children’s paradise and a beautiful pirate ship. On the Hirschau website there is a picture gallery to see what playing options are available.
  • Playground on the Isar Island near the St. Emerams Bridge. A particularly beautiful, large playground with a pond
  • Playground at the Aumeister beer garden, here too there are some tables for parents very close by so that you can easily keep an eye on them
  • Playground at the entrance to Crailsheimerstraße and Rohmederstr. South, fenced and well suited for smaller children

Swings are fun for all children

Summer tip: swimming with children

The Schwabing Bay in the northern part of the English Garden is not deep and is a great place to swim with the children.

The so-called Schwabing Bay is located in the northern part of the English Garden. There is a small sandy beach there and it’s great for swimming with the children. The water is also quite shallow. This is the best way to find Schwabinger Bucht.

Another beautiful spot is directly behind the Hirschau beer garden.

Free play in the fresh air:

In addition to the playgrounds, the English Garden also offers plenty of other activities in the fresh air. Start running and feel free! The Isar in the northern section is also a great place to play – but this should only be done under supervision, so that no one falls into the water!
