Bürgerpark Paunsdorf, Public park in northeastern Leipzig, Germany

Bürgerpark Paunsdorf is a public park in northeastern Leipzig built on the site of former agricultural and military grounds. The park features meadows, forests, and ponds that provide habitats for various animal species.

The Bürgerpark Paunsdorf was created on a 12.2-hectare plot west of the Paunsdorf-Nord prefab housing estate that had been farmed until the early 1990s. Its design came out of an urban and landscape planning competition held in 2000, which shaped the whole Grüner Bogen Paunsdorf. The lake was dug out and two hills raised from the excavated soil, and in 2004 a viewing terrace was built at the southern edge toward the housing estate.

The park takes its name from the Paunsdorf district. Its central feature is the Bogensee, a landscape lake about 350 metres long and 200 metres wide, crossed by a foot and cycle bridge at its narrowest point. A fountain aerator at the northern shore keeps the water circulating.

The 2.6 km circular path around the fenced Heiterblick grazing area runs mostly close to the fence; the observation terrace at its southern edge, next to Bürgerpark Paunsdorf, was built in 2004. The park's southern hill is reached by a barrier-free path and has a seating group. The lake has a disabled-accessible fishing access.

The water buffalo and Przewalski's horses graze not in Bürgerpark Paunsdorf itself but in the fenced 35-hectare Heiterblick grazing project, a former barracks and Kampfgruppen training ground, which borders the park to the north. A 2.6 km circular path runs around it, and a viewing terrace was built at its southern edge next to the park in 2004.
