Freizeitstätte Wittringen, Public park with water castle in Gladbeck, Germany.
The Freizeitstätte Wittringen extends over 100 hectares of woodland and parkland, featuring ponds, sports fields, and a 4.2-kilometer circular avenue for walking and running.
The city of Gladbeck purchased the Wittringer Forest in 1922 and transformed the previously unusable swampland into a recreational facility, which opened in 1928.
The water castle within the park contains the municipal museum of Gladbeck, presenting collections that document the development and history of the local region.
Visitors can participate in various activities including tennis, archery, mini-golf, boat rentals on the castle pond, and children can enjoy the adventure playground.
The park's system of interconnected ponds serves a technical purpose, managing drainage issues caused by ground subsidence from historical mining operations.
