Gleispark Frintrop, Public park in Frintrop district, Essen, Germany.
The park encompasses numerous walking paths through birch forests, meadows with wild roses, and open spaces filled with evening primrose and goldenrod flowers.
The land operated as a freight train station until 1987, when Deutsche Bahn ceased operations and transferred the property to the Ruhr Regional Association in 1998.
The park forms part of the Route of Industrial Culture, displaying the transformation of industrial areas into natural spaces within the Emscher Landscape Park network.
Visitors can access guided nature tours and full moon walks starting from Haus Ripshorst, with designated paths for cycling and walking throughout the grounds.
The soil, compressed by decades of heavy freight cars, creates special conditions for pioneer plants and numerous butterfly species that inhabit the park.
