The "josefwiese" is one of the places to hang out on a sunny day. It's a good place to go with kids, next to the big lawn there is a playground and something between a pool and a big fountain.
There is always a bunch of people playing boule and there is even a beach volley field.
If you get hungry there's a little coffee place where you get good coffee and lovely tarts.

Relax here after an extended shopping tour through the nice shops of "Kreis 5" ( thats how this neighborhood is called).
It's also  close to the Löwenbräuareal with all it's art galleries.
