A long green valley rolling downhill from Torshov with a clear line of sight to the fjord, locals' pick for sledding in winter and long evening picnics in June. Torshovdalen runs between Torshov and Sinsen, with paths for walking, cycling and running and a high point looking toward central Oslo and the fjord. In winter the municipality lists sledding, ski tracks and a weather-dependent natural ice area.

Grünerløkka's living room, the lawn where the whole neighborhood lands on the first warm day of the year, with engangsgrill smoke and someone's speaker until the sun gives up. Oslo municipality lists a playground with drinking water, table-tennis tables, a public toilet and a fountain among the park's facilities. Rathkes gate divides the park near Sofienberg church and the Jewish cemetery, so pick a meeting point before bringing a group.
