The park is bounded by the three large housing estates Mümmelmannsberg , Kaltenbergen and Sonnenland, the streets "An der Glinder Au" and "Knivsbergweg" as well as the fields that form the eastern border of Hamburg with Havighorst , a district of the Oststeinbek municipality in the Stormarn district in Schleswig-Holstein , form.

The name "forest park" is misleading, as the park surrounds the lake and thus includes the riparian zones and mostly large meadows and only a small part consists of dense trees .

The park covers an area of ​​approximately 5.6 hectares .
