Bürgerpark Nord, Darmstadt, Public park in Darmstadt, Germany

Bürgerpark Nord is a 100-hectare green space on the northern edge of Darmstadt with hills, lakes, woodlands, and meadows. The site includes an athletics stadium with 6,000 seats plus numerous sports courts for basketball, football, handball, tennis, and volleyball.

The site was transformed from old garden plots, abandoned fields, and remnants of clay pits from defunct brickyards into a municipal park between 1974 and 1999. This conversion gave new purpose to long-dormant land and created important recreational space for the city.

The park's chestnut avenue and old horse chestnuts are protected natural monuments. Every June the Darmstädter Friedenslauf takes place here, a peace run through the park. The Watzebuckel, a 22-metre artificial hill, is also known as Drachenberg.

The park lies in Darmstadt-Nord, in the east of the Am Ziegelbusch district. The Kastanienallee crosses it west to east south of the Müllersteich, with the Eissporthalle and Nordbad at its western end. The sports zone with the athletics stadium, bike park and ball courts begins south of the Moorteich. The Watzebuckel rises at the northwest edge.

A 22-meter-high artificial hill called Watzebuckel or Dragon Mountain offers visitors elevated views across the park grounds. From its summit, one can survey the entire park landscape and the surrounding city.
