Picnics and strolls

Malmö isn't known as "the city of parks" for nothing. Some of the best outdoor group activities can be enjoyed in parks - boules, kubb, croquet and frisbee to name just a few. Our favourite parks are without doubt Slottsparken and Pildammsparken, both of which have plenty of wide open green spaces ideal for stretching out and playing in.

Funplays is a colourful activity centre that has something for the whole family. The aim is to get children and young people moving through play and fun, and there are plenty of slides, trampolines, ball pits, climbing frames and other activities.

Pedaloes

See the city from the water

Rent a pedalo, take along a little picnic and pedal past leafy parks and birdlife. The boat has space for four people and you can borrow life jackets at no extra cost. In other words, it's very good value if you're sharing the cost.

Ping pong on Värnhemstorget or Folkets Park

Table tennis outdoors

Inspired by the outdoor ping pong tables you'll find all over Berlin and other cities, Värnhemstorget and Folkets Park have set up their own outdoor ping pong tables. Carry a racket and ball with you at all times in case the mood should take you.
