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 created by the Verschönerungsverein, founded in 1876, on a 28-hectare strip at the southern edge of the Dresdner Heide. A contract with the forest administration in 1877 secured the land against clear-cutting and dumping, not a purchase. The concert shell replaced an earlier music pavilion in 1921, when the spa town's incorporation agreement mandated a thorough renovation of the concert area.

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 lies on a 28-hectare strip at the southern edge of the Dresdner Heide, entered near the pergola rebuilt in 2003 in its historic form. Paths, steps and benches were restored from 1993 by the re-founded Verschönerungsverein, and the Holde-Frauen-Brücke was rebuilt. The concert area has been run since 2009 with a beer garden.

Drilling for the Paradiesquelle began on 1 November 1927 after scientists and a dowsing practitioner confirmed a spring for the Moorbad AG. Water flowed from a vase under a glass dome, and a bottling plant stood in the well house. In 1982 the water was judged to have no healing effect; the vase was destroyed by unknown persons in 2016, leaving the well dry.
