The 7 best water playgrounds in Leipzig: A summer adventure for families!
Summer has Leipzig firmly in its grip and families are looking for recreational opportunities to cool off on hot days. The city offers a colorful selection of water playgrounds that provide fun and refreshment. These places are an ideal attraction not only for children but also for families.
A particularly popular place is the water playground on the Karl Heine Canal. Here, children between 1.5 and 8 years old can play in water channels and aqueducts and experiment with a pump. The playground is located under the Gießerbrücke and can be easily reached by tram (lines 8, 14, 15) or by bike. Entry is free, but there are no sanitary facilities.

The bone place in Lindenau is another hotspot for families with small children. Here you will find a water pump, climbing elements and a slide. Right next to the “Fräulein Miramunkel” trailer café, this place is particularly popular for a relaxed family outing.
In the center-south there is the “Neue Ufer” playground, which impresses with its urban charm and is easily accessible by tram (lines 10, 11). Centrally located and modernly designed, it offers a welcome refreshment. The disc wood park in Clara Zetkin Park impresses with mill wheels, water pumps and a sand conveyor belt, and is particularly suitable for older children. This place is also open all year round.
A trip to the water playground at Lake Cospuden (Costa Cospuda) is perfect for a day outdoors. Here children can not only play in the water, but also relax on the sandy beach. Access is free and access is possible using both bus lines (65, 79, 106) and by car. This place is particularly popular during the summer months.
Another highlight is the Aquapark Leipzig on Lake Kulkwitz, which, with its 1,100 m² water park area, offers numerous attractions such as trampolines and slides. The aqua park is open from June to September and entry costs from 14 euros. The Oberholz forest and water playground in Großpösna, ideal for day trips with picnic options, is also one of the natural experiences that Leipzig has to offer.
