A gorgeous park in the west end of Frankfurt. Located next to the Palmengarten this is quite a big…read morepark with many kids play areas. Like most parks in Frankfurt they have signs everywhere saying dogs on a line only, which is really unfortunate :-( The Korean garden is located within this park as is a old theatre and a couple of cafes with lots of outdoor seating. Plenty of picnic areas and lots of space to spend a nice warm day. Been here twice and more than likely to come back here again. It's not massive but big enough to spend a day walking around and relaxing on the nice mowed grass areas of the park.

With so much space there is room for everybody. The grounds were once owned by the Goethe family, later by another famous family the Bethmann-Metzlers. In 1837 the Rothschilds bought the park and built the Grüneburgsschlösschen, little palace, and had the grounds relaid as a park by Siesmayer. The building was destroyed in 1944 and not rebuilt.

I would imagine this is an oasis for locals and tourists all year round and a nice place to go for a walk. It's not huge but big enough not to feel crowded. Dogs need to be on a line here which is unfortunate. In a way I was glad as there were a lot of geese and ducks that our dog loves to chase around, only because it's a new place;-)) I would come here if you are visiting town for a walk and spend some quiet time in the park. To one end of the park there is also a long trail that goes around a brook which is great for a longer walk or a run.
