Wildpark Leipzig, Wildlife park in Connewitz, Leipzig, Germany.

Wildpark Leipzig is a 42-hectare animal park in the Leipzig floodplain forest in Connewitz, at the southern edge of the city. About 250 animals of roughly 25 Central European species are kept here, with red, fallow and mouflon deer sharing one large enclosure and separate areas for roe deer, wild boar, moose and wisents. The main entrance on Koburger Straße is a tall gateway with a pitched grey-green shingled roof on two dark square posts, its panel lettered "Wildpark Leipzig".

In 1904, mill owner Richard Jacob of Connewitz gave the city four fallow deer, housed in a enclosure at Stempel that proved flood-prone. The animals were moved in 1906 to a fenced area near the Heidaer Wiesen, and a shelter selling milk and baked goods opened in 1912. The Second World War destroyed the park; reconstruction began on 1 January 1974 and the full site opened in October 1979.

The park's name appears in light lettering on the dark panel of its entrance gateway on Koburger Straße, where two small blue signs with a red symbol are mounted on the posts. Inside, a Russian log cabin houses a tea house, and a kiln with an open hearth can be rented for private celebrations. Two playgrounds carry fairy-tale names: Märchenburg at the main entrance and Märchenspielplatz behind the tea house.

The park is free to enter and has an adventure trail where visitors can watch wildlife without barriers. Two playgrounds lie on the grounds: the Märchenburg forest playground at the Koburger Straße main entrance and the Märchenspielplatz behind the Russian tea house. A kiln with an open fire can be rented for private celebrations.

Inside the park stands a traditional Russian log cabin that now serves as a tea house and café. This unexpected feature gives visitors an unusual place to rest between animal areas.
