Elbpark Entenwerder, öffentlicher Park auf der Halbinsel Entenwerder im Hamburger Stadtteil Rothenburgsort
Elbpark Entenwerder is a public park on a peninsula extending into the river in Hamburg. The park features wide grassy areas with naturally growing plants, gnarled old trees, walking paths along the water, and several spaces for sports and leisure including volleyball and soccer areas, plus a children's playground.
Around 1900, this location was an important checkpoint for ships on the Elbe, where cargo was inspected before traveling deeper into Hamburg's harbor. After World War II, the port's importance declined, and during the 1990s traveling fair workers parked their wagons here seasonally until the city opened it as a public park in 1997.
The name Entenwerder refers to duck hunting that once took place here. Today, visitors can see how locals use this place as a retreat from city noise, where people gather to enjoy nature in its unmanicured form and spend time by the water with friends or alone.
The park is easily accessible by S-Bahn (line 2, Tiefstack station) and features new bike paths that are easy to follow from the water. Admission is free, and visitors should allow time to wander, as many corners reveal themselves gradually during a walk.
The Golden Pavilion is a shimmering structure made of perforated metal that floats on the water, originally built for an art exhibition and open for visitors to walk inside and experience the play of sunlight. This modern element creates a surprising contrast to the natural grassy areas and old trees surrounding it.
