Volksgarten, Cologne

It is approximately 14 ha (34.5 acres) in size, used for various social activities throughout the year, and can have more than 10.000 visitors on sunny days.

The western rim of the park is a railroad that traverses Cologne, coming from the South Bridge (Südbrücke) and merging with the main and most frequented railroad coming from Bonn in the south and then surrounding most of the city center of Cologne.

There are two playgrounds for children, one on the north side by the Rosengarten (rose garden), and one on the east by the Volksgartenstraße, with ample sand, various climbing frames, benches for adults.

The park is well known for its beautiful rose garden with adjoining fort remains, located on its north western edge near the end of Eifelwall at Eifelstraße, behind the stacked railway bridges.

Remains of a small fort still exist on the north end of the park, adjoining the rose garden.
