Vorgebirgspark, Public park and architectural monument in Zollstock, Raderberg, and Raderthal districts, Germany.

Vorgebirgspark is a large green space system that extends across three districts of Cologne and connects different green areas together. The site features walking trails, open meadows, and natural zones for strolling and recreational activities.

Vorgebirgspark was laid out from 1910 to 1914 to plans by garden architect Fritz Encke and opened to visitors on 1 July 1914. Its southern and eastern edges along Kreuznacher and Neuenahrer Straße, including the special gardens enclosed by an old brick wall, remain unchanged. Most of that walled garden area was renovated and replanted in the mid-1980s after a planned motorway route was abandoned.

The park's name comes from the Vorgebirge, the low hills west of Cologne. The special gardens along Kreuznacher Strasse keep their old brick wall, and the rose garden's 42-metre water-lily basin has a turquoise-painted bottom. The Kölner Tageblatt of 14 September 1911 reported several hundred rose varieties there, arranged by colour.

The park is accessible on foot from several neighborhoods and works well for leisurely walks at your own pace. The paths are mostly flat and offer places to rest on benches located throughout the routes.

The park's three special gardens are grouped and aligned on axes: a terraced garden north of the tree square, a rose garden with a 42-metre water-lily basin whose turquoise-painted floor is visible through the water, and a perennial garden. The rose garden's white arcade, 40 metres long, was built in the 1950s to replace a pergola.
