Guided Story

Can you hear that faint echo of hooves? That's the memory of when horse races were held right here. Imagine, this park once boasted Cologne's very first golf course. Now, if you look to your left, you'll see the old grandstands, whispering tales of excitement and cheers. In spring, the air is filled with the scent of freshly cut grass, and birds sing joyfully from the trees. Take a seat on one of the benches, close your eyes, and picture the lively past when this park was the city's sports hub. It's a place rich in history yet refreshingly modern. A perfect blend of Cologne's charming tradition and vibrant present.
