Taxispark, Public park in Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, Munich, Germany
Taxispark is a public green space in the Neuhausen-Nymphenburg district of Munich with facilities for recreation and physical activity. The grounds include sports areas, a Kneipp water basin, fitness equipment, raised wooden pathways, and a sunken garden that outlines where a former swimming pool once stood.
The park was created in 1921 after World War I as a recovery space specifically for disabled war veterans, designed to aid in their rehabilitation. Over the decades it transformed into a public recreation space serving the broader neighborhood community.
The park takes its name from the Taxis family who once owned the land, and it serves as a neighborhood gathering place where people of all ages spend time together. The sunken garden area reflects how the site has adapted over time while maintaining its character as a local green retreat.
The park is located at Paschstraße 28 near the U-Bahn station Gern, making it easy to reach by public transportation. The grounds are designed with ramps, stairs, and elevated pathways that allow visitors to move around comfortably on foot.
Children from a nearby school participated in designing the playground, ensuring the equipment reflects their needs and ideas. The play areas were thoughtfully integrated around existing trees, creating a balanced blend between structures and the natural surroundings.
