There were some parking spots here. We initially ended up at a small park for little kids in town and had to re-enter a few things to get us here. Our GSP made us pass the parking lot and turn down a bike trail which we didn't realize until we were on it... don't do that.

This park is great for a stroll, people watching, or even a run (if you connect it with the…read moreadjacent park that goes into Sonnenberg). There is a stream than runs along the walking path and a pond that you can even take a rented boat out onto in the summer. It's very popular, expect to see a lot of people out especially on the weekends ending this space.

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.

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. Recently, as a result of the book fair in 2006, a fine pair of Korean houses have been erected in a quiet corner of the park.
