Lennépark

Lennépark is a public park in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany, spanning roughly 9 hectares and featuring artificial waterfalls, streams, fountains, ponds, and walking paths set within landscaped grounds. The terrain follows the natural slope with a height difference of about 35 meters from north to south, extending approximately one kilometer along Karl-Marx-Straße.

The park was constructed between 1834 and 1845 on the grounds of former fortifications and ranks as Germany's second oldest public park. It was designed by renowned landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné, whose name it still bears today.

The park holds several monuments from different periods of German history, including a distinctive obelisk and a Karl Marx sculpture. These memorials show how the meaning and use of the place have shifted over time.

The park is accessible through multiple entrances and can be easily reached from the city center, offering plenty of space for walking and exploring along its trails. The best time to visit is on warm days when the water features and green areas are most inviting.

The grounds host over 50 different tree species, including rare varieties such as Ginkgo, North American Zelkova, and young Wollemia, reflecting the botanical interest of the original design. This diverse collection makes it a quiet spot for plant enthusiasts wanting to explore a range of species in one location.
