TT meet up for picnic and ball games - Hamburg

There is a few of us on TT who are planning a meet up for the 11th May over Stadtpark for picnics and ball games. A friend of mine has just suggested 'pot luck' picnic, where everyone brings something and we all share, I think thats a fab idea.

I'm hoping the weather will be good next weekend!!! So is anybody else interested?

Family of 3 of 5 coming LOL. So just bring anything and see how everything works out? I love surprises

Another family of 3 is coming. What to bring? I also need directions to Stadtpark, never been there :-0

Bring anything you like-i'll prob take a big salad, some sandwiches and maybe a fruit salad. I'll also bring along some music, a football and of course my son. , oh and maybe a few cheeky beers!!

Directions to Stadtpark from Blankeneese, I really havent a clue. Maybe I could meet you somewhere like Haubtbahnof and we could go along together? ... My sis in law will also be coming with her 2 kids, and I think a couple of friends of mine are going too...

Do you need directions for the subway or by car? The Stadtpark is easily accessible by the U Bahn. Where are we planning on meeting? The Stadtpark is huge! My husband and I usually take the U3 to Borweg and it's a few minutes walk to the park (just head north on Borweg, which turns into Hindenburgstrasse and goes straight thru the park.)

From Blankenese you would take the S1 to Landungsbrueken and then the U3 (toward Barmek) to Borweg.

Anyone who knows the Stadtpark better than me willing to suggest a place we can all meet?

I think I'll bring a big pasta salad and a dessert.

Stadtpark is so huge! Maybe we should all meet at Borgweg and go from there? If its a lovely sunny day (like im hoping) then it will be really busy and we will prob spend the afternoon searching for each other. Unless anyone else has a specific meeting place in mind?

I'll get some KFC buckets just need a count.

We had a Canada Day meet in the Stadtpark a few years ago and it was very nice just pack picnic wise (blankets etc.).

I know my way around cause I used to jog a lot there and I would suggest the north end to the east of the main thru road (I would gladly arrive a little early and raise a flag ).

Directions:U-Bahn Borgweg straight up north and towards the end on your right(will post sign if needed).

Stadtpark

I would gladly do a meet at S-Bahn Alte Wöhr and walk together into the park.

I'm happy to meet wherever. Have we decided on a meeting time yet?

By the way, I know at least one family coming doesn't eat meat, so everything I am making will be vegetarian. Me, however - I am looking forward to some naughty KFC!

How about 1pm as a meeting time, I will be getting off the S1 at Alte Wohr so i'm happy to meet there for people arriving at that station and for other people arriving at other points at the park maybe Mapleleafdude can give a meeting point?

I have another family interested in coming too, so this a head count now

Laurel & Matt
Rose, Sequoia (4) and Maui (11 mths)
Me & Noah (2)
Cara, her husband and Ian (4)
Leyli and her 2 children
Mapleleafdude and family

I'm really looking forward to it, does anyone know the weather forecast for the weekend?

Saturday is supposed to be 23 degrees and sunny! Woohoo!

Meeting at Alte Wöhr is best and from there we can walk in together.

23 degrees! I second that woohoo :-)

If somebodys coming by car come early cause parking's gonna be sh...

1 pm at Alte Wöhr it is.

Just to clarify - we're meeting on Sunday the 11th? All this time I had it written on my calendar as being on Saturday, so now I'm confused. Either day is fine, I just want to show up on the right one.

I thought it was Sunday all the time.

Sunday might be easier to get through traffic for those of us from farther away.

Sunday at 1pm, S-Bahn "Alte Wöhr". Any objections?
