Westpark, Recreation area in Braunschweig, Germany

Westpark is a 240-hectare recreation area in Braunschweig that stretches along both sides of Madamenweg, connecting different landscape zones. The space contains flower meadows, wetland habitats, and woodland patches linked by walking trails.

Westpark was laid out from 1980 onward on the basis of an overall plan by Günter Nagel, and it is still being developed. Early plans called it "Madamenpark" after Madamenweg. A three-row lime avenue running east-west, with footpath, cycle path and bridleway and circular tree plantings at both ends, was one of the main projects of recent years; it was originally planned with four rows.

The park's sculptures were made by students of the Braunschweig University of Art during the 2nd Braunschweig Sculpture Symposium in 1990. "Der Bilderrahmen" stands near the Raffteich ponds, "Der Informationspfeiler" in the southwest at Timmerlaher Busch, and Martina Benz's 3.5-metre "Der Stuhl", carved from a 12-tonne boulder, near the Westpark sports ground.

The park is split by Madamenweg, with the northern section holding the arboretum and tree trail and the southern section bordering the Weststadt housing. A disc golf course opened in April 2010, and a public barbecue area was added at Ganderhals in 2017. The Millenniumberg in the east is not always open to the public.

A maze made from elephant grass shaped like the Brunswick coat of arms was created in 2020. This living puzzle offers visitors an unexpected challenge while walking the grounds.
