This
is
an
excellent
place
to
take
children
(perhaps
aged
1
to
12
for
the
playgrounds)
in
a
dog-free
place
with
plenty
of
playgrounds
and
extensive
gardens.
The
cost
is
reasonable
(€5
adults,
€3
children
-
August
2022).
We
go
a
few
times
a
year
and
stay
about
4
hours
each
visit;
the
playgrounds
are
scattered
around
the
western
part
of
the
park;
the
east
has
nice
walks
and
children's
learning
activities
(in
German)
and
a
small
but
must-visit
butterfly
house
(costs
a
little
extra).
Maxipark
can
be
very
busy
during
NRW
school
holidays
(which
don't
include
the
last
week
of
August
it
seems:
almost
empty
during
British
Bank
Holiday
Monday).
Central
playground
has
lots
of
water
activities
(pumps,
streams,
fountains
etc):
can
be
useful
for
children
to
have
a
change
of
clothes
(or
swimming
costume).
Lots
of
parking
but
also
frequent
buses
(numbers
1
and
3
I
think)
to
Hamm
railway
station
(about
25
minutes).
