Dating back to 1859 and covering an area of 17 acres (7 hectares), the Stadtgarten has long provided much of Essen’s recreation and greenery. It is anchored by an impressive pond and fountain, while kids will be excited by its two playgrounds. Go on a leisurely stroll in this scenic central park and meander between the old trees. See the pond at night, when underwater floodlights give it a stylish glow. It was renovated in 2008 and its fountain jet rises 40 feet (12 meters) in the air. Relax with a book and people-watch at one of the many benches dotted around the park. Lay down a blanket on the wide, open lawn for a picnic or play games with friends. As you amble along the various paths, take time to inspect the sculptures that have appeared over time. These range in style and aesthetic, from Wilhelm Nida-Rümelin’s graceful *Fairy* statue to Guido Hoffman-Flick’s series of unusual monster-like works. Let your little ones climb through the mouths of Hoffman-Flick’s artworks. Admire Stephan Huber’s *Cello* and Max Bill’s *The Infinite Loop*, among the many other pieces spread out across the park. Attend some of the events that take place here, such as the Sunday bowls tournament. Come to the Park Sounds festival in June to listen to experimental music. For a splash of culture, purchase tickets for a performance at the Aalto Theater or the Philharmonic Orchestra. Both of these cultural institutions are set up on the northern border of the park. Get your bearings from the RWE-Turm skyscraper that rises high above the park’s northeastern corner. The Südviertel district in the southern part of Essen is where you’ll find the Stadtgarten. Arrive at the Philharmonie U-Bahn station or at one of the surrounding bus stops and walk east to get to the park. Nearby landmarks include the Philharmonie Essen concert hall, the Soul of Africa Museum and the Museum Folkwang. ## Plan a trip to see Stadtgarten Price found within the past 48 hours.
