Carlisle Park, Public park in Südstadt, Flensburg, Germany.
Carlisle Park is a public green space in Flensburg's Südstadt district near the main train station. A semi-circular avenue frames a large open lawn area in the center.
The park was created in 1927 following the construction of Flensburg's main train station. It replaced a former mill pond that occupied the site before the station was built.
The park is named after Carlisle, Flensburg's British twin town, a name it received in 1988/89. In 1998, 24 artists carved sculptures from elms struck by Dutch elm disease; only two of these tree sculptures remain, and lindens were planted in their place.
The park is easily accessible by bus, with multiple stops nearby. Parking is available near the entrance for those arriving by car.
At the park's northern edge, a memorial to Flensburg's tramway consists of a single motor car set on a short stretch of track. Trams last ran here in 1973, and line 1 had passed the park since 1927.
