Bochum City Park

The city park in Bochum is the oldest landscape garden in the Ruhr area, planned and executed in the English style of classic garden architecture. It was opened in 1876 and expanded until 1903. Today, the city park occupies an area comparable to about 31 soccer fields. Visitors relax between modern sculptures or foreign deciduous trees.

Bochum's city park is the oldest communal landscape garden in the Ruhr area after the Essen city garden. The city park was created after a municipal resolution of 1869 from May 1876 in the style of an English garden. The park, several buildings and the entire ensemble of the district are today due to their special historical and artistic significance listed.
