Kennelgebiet, Public park in Braunschweig, Germany
Kennelgebiet is a public park in Brunswick featuring two artificial ponds connected by walking paths through green meadows and wooded sections alongside the Oker River. The area also includes a public swimming facility where visitors can swim during the warmer months.
The area was designed in the 18th century as part of Richmond Park, and water basins were constructed in 1883 to supply water for Brunswick's needs. These basins originally served a practical purpose before becoming a leisure destination.
The space serves as a gathering point for residents seeking outdoor recreation and connects different leisure zones throughout the city. The open meadows and wooded areas form a central hub for community activities.
The area is easily accessible on foot with extensive paths that make it simple to explore different parts of the park. Visitors should note that the swimming area operates only in warmer months, while the grounds remain open year-round for walking and nature observation.
Railway embankments rise up to 20 meters and create an unusual landform that shapes the park's geography. A curved bridge over the Oker River at the southern edge marks a distinctive architectural feature that many visitors tend to overlook.
