Volksgarten, Public park in Düsseldorf, Germany
Volksgarten is a large green space featuring curved pathways, dense vegetation, and tree-lined avenues centered around a pond. The grounds include water playgrounds and extensive open lawns for different recreational pursuits.
Municipal authorities purchased roughly 11 hectares of land from the Arenberg family in 1892 to provide green space for nearby residential neighborhoods. The site was developed as a public park to serve the expanding city's recreational needs.
The park serves as a gathering space where people come to relax and enjoy outdoor activities throughout the year. Art installations are scattered across the grounds, inviting visitors to pause and observe.
The park is easily accessible via the Volksgarten S-Bahn station and offers multiple entry points for visitors. The open layout makes it easy to explore on foot and there are plenty of spots to rest throughout the grounds.
The park houses a notable circus tent designed by artist Conrad Roland that ranks among the world's largest of its kind. Along a water axis, several themed gardens and sections offer visitors surprises during their exploration.
