The Godesberg City Park was created in 1880 in the style of an English landscape garden. The park grew to its current size through the purchase of former villa gardens. . . .The park is located right next to the city center. To the southwest, separated only by the Kurfürstenallee, is the Redoutenpark. Both parks together have an area of 8 hectares. To the south is the five-hectare Rigal’sche, which is named after the Barons of Rigal-Grunwald. . . . The dominant building in the city park itself is the town hall. Built in 1955, it became famous through the SPD party conference, which passed the Godesberg program here. . . . . The drinking hall or drinking pavilion has been located to the west of the town hall since 1970. The building was built for the Kurfürstenquelle, which was drilled in 1962 . . .
Near the drinking pavilion is the carillon, which was built in 1979 for the Federal Garden Show and was moved to the city and spa park in the Bad Godesberg district in 1981 on the initiative of the district mayor Norbert Hauser. It has 23 bells with a range of 2 octaves. This means that not only melodies can be played, but also sophisticated compositions. The largest bell measures 40 cm in diameter and weighs 38 kg, the smallest bell 17 cm and weighs 5 kg. The total weight of the 23 bells is 291 kg.

The corner of Am Kurpark/Kurfürstenallee is designed as a flower roundabout. Between this and the tennis courts is the fountain with a bronze sculpture of a boy at the spring by the Latvian artist Naoum Aranson (1872–1943) from 1905. The fountain was donated by the Wendelstadt brothers. It stood on the site of the flower hall in front of the town hall until 1968.
