Alter Flugplatz, Urban park in Kalbach-Riedberg, Germany

The park spans 4.5 hectares with a 750-meter runway, tree groves, meadows, and wetland areas near the Nidda River in Frankfurt.

The United States Army established a helicopter base named Maurice Rose Airfield in 1951, which operated until its closure in August 1992.

The Robert Gernhardt pedestrian bridge features a bronze sculpture of the Frankfurt Green Belt mascot, connecting Frankfurt to Bad Homburg.

The park offers dedicated nature zones, observation areas, walking paths, and regular family events, with vehicle access restricted between 22:00 and 07:00.

The former military airfield transformed into an environmental learning station hosts over 100 bird species and 10 amphibian species in its wetland habitats.
