Evening in the Park: Discover Bochum's Green Lung in the Light of Early Evening
This free evening tour combines nature experience, city history, and sustainable urban development into a unique walk through Bochum's city park. Between the sustainability center and the park landscape, adults and families with children from 10 years will experience a tour that vividly brings together botanical diversity, historical traces, and the transformation of a traditional park.
A Walk Between History, Art, and Nature
The Bochum City Park is one of the defining green spaces of the city and will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2026, alongside the preparations for IGA 2027. This is exactly where the tour begins: Nature expert Birgit Ehses and tour guide Michaela Schloemann will provide different perspectives on a place that connects recreation, memory, and future.
The evening walk makes visible how the park has evolved from a historic landscape park to a modern urban green space. The mix of local stories, natural observations, and insights into the current redesign creates an intense discovery experience.
What Captures Attention Along the Way
The focus is on plants, park areas, and the character of the city park as a vibrant urban oasis. The alternation between sections of the path, observations, and explanatory stops provides a calm yet varied city tour. Those enthusiastic about cultural heritage, garden art, and the atmosphere of public green spaces will find many strong impressions here.
Especially appealing is the view of the park's transformation: historical developments, today’s renovation, and the future role in the context of IGA 2027 give the tour a current and professionally grounded depth.
Practical Information for Participation
The tour starts at the sustainability center located at Kortumstraße 93 and ends in the city park. As the city park is currently under renovation, barrier-free access is not possible. Suitable footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, sun protection on warm days, and a drink for the way are recommended.
Participation is free. Pre-registration via email with the desired number of participants is required.
Conclusion
Evening in the Park is more than just a walk: The tour connects Bochum's city history with nature knowledge, sustainable urban development, and a special evening atmosphere. Those who wish to see the city park with new eyes should secure this date and request the free tour early.
