Designed from 1978 to 1983 for the IGA83 (International Horticultural Exhibition 1983, opening: April 28, 1983) and then expanded into a park by the city, the Westpark is now also ideal for a walk. It is part of the green lung of Munich and well suited for inline skating, jogging, walking, etc. The Westpark consists of two parts, the eastern and western, which are connected by a bridge over the Mittlerer Ring / Garmischer Straße. Many of the themed gardens and the associated buildings of the IGA83 are still standing today.
