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's name, Volksgarten, means "people's garden", reflecting its purpose as a municipal green space open to all. The Kurhaus once hosted the cabaret stage of comedian Manes Meckenstock, and a coffee bar opened at the Emmastraße entrance in 2025. Canada geese now graze the lawns, which residents still use for sunbathing and picnics.

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.

From October 1942 to February 1943 a one-hectare satellite camp of the KZ Stoffeln stood here, ringed by barbed wire and lit by floodlight masts; 111 of about 600 prisoners died before it was dissolved on 21 February 1943. Eight barracks stood beside the Haus Kolvenbach inn, visible to passers-by.
