Parkbad Gütersloh, Swimming complex in Gütersloh, Germany.
Parkbad Gütersloh is a swimming complex with multiple pools including a 50-meter basin and a children's splash area within a central building featuring two separate entrances. The site extends toward the nearby Dalke river and provides distinct zones for different types of visitors.
The complex was founded in 1925 through the combined effort of local companies including Wolf Seil- und Drahtwerke and Miele. Its creation reflects a period when public health and fitness became increasingly important to communities.
The main entrance displays the Parkbad name prominently on its facade, marking it as a central leisure space for the town. The rear terrace with its central clock creates a gathering point where visitors naturally pause and socialize.
The complex offers changing rooms, showers, and lifeguard stations accessible through the main building. Visitors should note that the site is divided into several zones and finding your way around works best by starting from the entrance area.
Architect Paul Heidrich designed the complex with two diving towers, a slide, and a sand dune for children next to a large sunbathing area. This variety of zones makes the site a place where families with different interests can spend time together.
