Killesbergpark, Public park in Stuttgart, Germany
Killesbergpark is a large park in Stuttgart with multiple areas to explore. It features water fountains, garden sections, play areas, and paths that wind through varied terrain and green spaces.
The site was originally a quarry that was transformed into a park for the 1939 horticultural exhibition. This conversion established a tradition of hosting major garden shows and festivals at the location.
The Lichterfest Stuttgart is a summer celebration that fills the park with lanterns and concludes with a music-synchronized fireworks display. Visitors gather on the grounds to watch the space transform into a glowing landscape as the show unfolds.
The park offers an open-air swimming pool, children's theater, petting zoo, and food vendors operating from morning until late at night every day. The grounds are large, so visitors should be prepared for walking and plan which areas to visit based on their interests.
A narrow-gauge railway operates during summer months with four locomotives, including two steam engines that have been carrying visitors since 1950. These heritage trains offer visitors a different perspective of the grounds as they travel through the park.
