Came here for the Annual Roses Exhibit in summer ( German Rosarium). There are about three thousand varieties of roses each year. This huge and lovely Park in Dortmund-NRW was once the site of BUGA- German Horticultural Show. You pay entrance for a minimum of €3,50. Well maintained with lots to do inside the Park.. picnic, see the roses in bloom and other plants and flowers. Ride the train around to go faster and see more, or take the gondola to have a nicer view of the whole Park. It’s really worth the visit every time. There’s the Florian’s Observatory tower ( pay extra €2,) you can go up by a small elevator that can only take 2-4 people. A great view of the whole city of Dortmund, amazing! Disappointed though, the revolving restaurant doesn’t exist anymore atop Florian’s tower! But there’s the other r Restaurant an den Wasserbecken Cafe that offers meals and ice cream sundaes and cakes and coffee. The roses are so gorgeous every year in summer. In spring time there are thousands of bulbs blooming, amazing. This is a-must visit when...

This park is one of the most beautiful parks which i have visited so far in Germany. Specially it is beautiful during the spring because of flowers and green nature 😍. It has fee for entrance and you have to pay 3.5 to visit it but it really worth because the park is so huge and fantastic. Wben you go there be ready to take a lot of photos from yourself because that could be really cool for your instagram profile photo 😉. It has many entrances and exits but i recommend to enter the main entrance because it is near Ubahn. For reaching the park you can simply take one Ubahn from Dortmund Hbf and reach the park after around 5 stations. There is a tower in the park which is so high and you can pay more 2 Euros and go to the top of it by elevator. Also there are some restaurants and cafe in the park which you can eat or have coffe or snack as well as food there. I don't recommend to go there alone because you need someone to take...

Der Westfalenpark in Dortmund ist zweifellos eine grüne Oase im Herzen der Stadt. Mit seinen weitläufigen Rasenflächen, den Themengärten, dem Rosarium und dem florale Blütenmeer bietet er eine willkommene Abwechslung vom urbanen Trubel. Gerade an sonnigen Tagen lädt er zum Spazieren, Entspannen und Verweilen ein. Für Familien mit Kindern sind der große Spielplatz und die Möglichkeiten zum Picknicken attraktiv, und der Florian-Turm bietet eine beeindruckende Aussicht über Dortmund.

Doch so ansprechend die Gestaltung und die Vielfalt des Parks auch sein mögen, trübt ein Faktor das Gesamterlebnis erheblich: der Eintrittspreis. Aktuell 4,50 € für einen Erwachsenen sind für einen Park dieser Art schlichtweg zu hoch angesetzt. Gerade im Vergleich zu anderen renommierten Grünanlagen in Deutschland und Europa wirkt diese Gebühr fast schon unverschämt.

Nehmen wir beispielsweise den berühmten Englischen Garten in München. Dieser monumentale Stadtpark, der in seiner Größe und Bedeutung den Westfalenpark bei Weitem übertrifft, ist komplett kostenlos zugänglich. Besucher können hier stundenlang flanieren, surfen, Biergärten besuchen und die Natur genießen, ohne auch nur einen Cent Eintritt zu zahlen. Ähnlich verhält es sich mit vielen anderen großen Stadtparks in Deutschland und darüber hinaus. Ob der Tiergarten in Berlin, der Hyde Park in London oder der Central Park in New York – sie alle bieten ihre Grünflächen der Öffentlichkeit frei zugänglich an.

Der Westfalenpark, so schön er auch ist, bietet im Grunde genommen eine Parklandschaft, die in vielen anderen Städten als selbstverständliches öffentliches Gut betrachtet wird. Die gebührenpflichtigen Attraktionen innerhalb des Parks, wie die Seilbahn oder der Florian-Turm, sind ja separat zu bezahlen. Der Grundpreis von 4,50 € scheint daher eher ein Mittel zur Generierung von Einnahmen zu sein, anstatt eine faire Abdeckung der laufenden Kosten darzustellen. Dies nimmt dem Park einen Großteil seiner ursprünglichen Funktion als frei zugänglicher Erholungsraum für jedermann.

Gerade für Familien oder regelmäßige Besucher summieren sich die Eintrittskosten schnell und können zu einer finanziellen Belastung werden. Es hinterlässt den faden Beigeschmack, dass hier ein öffentlicher Raum, der zur allgemeinen Erholung dienen sollte, zu einem kostenpflichtigen Vergnügen gemacht wird.

Fazit: Der Westfalenpark ist landschaftlich reizvoll und bietet zweifellos Erholungswert. Doch der unverhältnismäßig hohe Eintrittspreis von 4,50 € ist ein klarer Minuspunkt und trübt das Vergnügen erheblich. Angesichts der vielen hervorragenden und kostenlosen Stadtparks in Deutschland und weltweit sollte die Stadt Dortmund dringend über eine Anpassung dieser Gebühr nachdenken, um den Park wieder zu einem wirklich zugänglichen und unbeschwerten Ort der Entspannung für alle...
