Waldpark Weißer Hirsch, Public park in Weißer Hirsch district, Dresden, Germany
Waldpark Weißer Hirsch is a large wooded park in a quiet residential area of Dresden featuring winding paths and dense forest surroundings. Visitors find a concert shell, children's play areas, sports facilities, and multiple trails suitable for different activity levels.
The park was established in 1876 when a local group purchased the land and transformed it into a public space for residents. The distinctive concert shell was added later as a permanent feature that shaped the park's identity.
The concert shell serves as the social heart where people gather for outdoor music events throughout the year. Neighbors use this space to experience performances together and to feel connected to their community.
The park is open year-round and free to enter, with areas suitable for relaxation, play, and exercise. During winter months, an ice rink operates regularly and becomes especially busy during school holidays.
A historic spring called Paradiesquelle operated within the park from 1927 to 1982, drawing visitors who believed in its healing properties. The spring was eventually closed after claims about its therapeutic benefits were questioned.
