Kurpark Döse, Public park in Döse district, Cuxhaven, Germany

Kurpark Döse is a park behind the North Sea dike at Strandstraße 80, near Fort Kugelbake. It has a lake, a fountain courtyard with a covered walking and resting hall, a zoo with 200 animals, a pirate playground, and the Kugelbake Hall for events. Sculptures include works by Peter Lehmann and Franz Rotter.

The site was created in 1935 when Cuxhaven was growing as a North Sea resort and officials sought a recreational area for visitors and residents. This founding led to the combination of nature park and leisure facilities that still defines the space today.

The Kugelbake Hall, completed by 1983, is the park's venue for larger cultural events. The park's own festival, the Kurparkfest, was held here about 30 times a year until 2018. Sculptures stand in and around the grounds, among them Peter Lehmann's "Fuchs auf heißer Spur" and "Gans und Ganter", both made after 1956.

Access is free and the grounds are easy to explore on foot with broad paths running throughout the site. Wear comfortable shoes and plan time for observation, especially when seabirds are being fed.

The grounds feature specially designed netted viewing areas for observing waders such as redshanks, oystercatchers, and avocets in their natural behavior. These dedicated observation zones let visitors watch the birds without disturbance.
