Volksgarten, Urban park in Lend district, Graz, Austria.

The Volksgarten is a large public park in the Lend district featuring winding pathways and two ponds that reflect the surroundings. A striking steel water wheel and diverse tree species create the character of this green space.

This space was created in 1875 to complement the nearby Stadtpark. A significant expansion took place in the late 1800s when facilities such as a children's playground and ice skating area were added.

The park's name refers to its role as a "people's garden", a public green space for the workers of the surrounding Lend district. The Austrian Kinderfreunde, an organisation for children and families, was founded here by Anton Afritsch in 1908 after earlier initiatives in the park. A pavilion built in 1899 now houses a Social Democratic Party facility.

The park lies in Lend between Marschallgasse and Volksgartenstrasse, with entrances on all sides. A footpath follows the Mühlgang and its pond, where a water wheel stands near the Volksgartenstrasse. The Peace Stupa in the southwest is reached by paved paths; the round listed toilet block is in the southeast corner.

A Peace Stupa built in 1998 stands here as one of Austria's earliest examples of this type of structure. Local tradition holds that walking around it clockwise brings positive energy.
