Düsseldorf's Volksgarten is a historic park in the Oberbilk district and forms the oldest part of the Südpark (South Park). Covering an area of 27 hectares, it was created at the end of the 19th century as a natural landscape park and expanded in 1987 as part of the Federal Garden Show.
The park is characterized by romantic ponds, winding paths, avenues, and dense clumps of trees that create an idyllic atmosphere. Of particular note is the Volksgarten pond with its boathouse and the adjacent cabaret stage in the Kurhaus, which regularly hosts events. The park is also home to numerous allotment gardens, giving it a cozy and distinctive character.
For families, the Volksgarten offers several playgrounds and water playgrounds, a petting zoo, and expansive meadows for picnics and recreational activities. The renaturalized Düssel River winds through the park, contributing to its natural beauty.
The Volksgarten is a popular meeting place for young and old, offering space for recreation, sports, and culture, and is a significant piece of nature in the heart of the city. It is easily accessible by public transport and invites you to take relaxing walks and engage in activities.
