Maurice Ravel Park

In the location's words:

The Maurice-Ravel-Park in Düsseldorf is a modern green space that was created on the site of the former Derendorf goods station. Covering an area of around four hectares, the park connects the districts of Pempelfort and Düsseltal and is part of the city's "2nd Green Ring" project, which aims to create new green recreational spaces in the city.

The park is divided into three thematic areas:

• Garden of Tranquillity: a grove of trees with birch and pine trees, offering a tranquil atmosphere thanks to its color contrasts and open lawns.

• Garden of movement: An area with a variety of play options for children, including climbing ropes, swing elements and a watercourse for mud and sand play.

• Garden of Succession: This section is a reminder of the site's industrial past and houses a memorial to the deportation of over 6,000 Jews from Düsseldorf during the Second World War.

Maurice Ravel Park not only serves as a recreational space, but also as a venue for cultural events such as the "Liebe das Leben Pempelfort Music Weekend", which focuses on music, street food and community.
