Grasbrookpark

About

Grasbrookpark in Hamburg’s HafenCity is a modern green oasis that reflects the city’s transformation from historic port area to innovative urban district. Opened in 2013 between the Marco-Polo-Terrassen and the Überseequartier, the park was designed by the Barcelona-based architects EMBT and brings a playful, maritime flair to the heart of HafenCity. Its layout combines Mediterranean-style plantings with wide lawns, shaded paths, and a central playground that has become especially popular with families. A large wooden pirate ship, climbing structures, and water features make the park a lively meeting place for children, while seating areas and the surrounding boulevard invite relaxation with views of the Elbe and HafenCity’s striking architecture, including the Unileverhaus and Marco Polo Tower. Grasbrookpark is more than a recreational space: it is part of Hamburg’s vision for sustainable, people-centered urban development, integrating biodiversity, climate resilience, and community use. Just steps away from the Elbphilharmonie and the cruise terminal, it offers locals and visitors alike a refreshing pause in the midst of one of Europe’s most ambitious regeneration projects.
