MüGa-Park

MüGa-Park is a large green space along the Ruhr with paths, gardens, fountains, and sculptures spread throughout the grounds. It offers different areas for relaxation and combines nature with artistic design in the city center.

The park was created in 1992 for a regional garden show and reused the grounds of a former railway site. This transformation demonstrates how industrial land in the region was converted into public recreational space.

The park displays outdoor art installations and houses a film history museum inside a repurposed water tower with exhibitions about early cinema. Visitors can take time to explore these artistic works and learn about the origins of film technology.

The park is free to access and reachable by tram lines 901 or 102, with multiple entrances connecting to the regional cycling network. The best times to visit are warmer months when gardens are in bloom and art exhibitions are active.

A biogarden is maintained by adult education center participants and displays chemical-free cultivation methods alongside traditional farming approaches. Visitors can see how old and new gardening approaches blend together in one space.
