Layout and Design
The park is divided into an elevated rose garden on Bornheimer Straße, a large L-shaped lawn and a further lawn in front of the former Zollstock bathhouse on Rosenzweigweg. A former large sandpit was removed in favour of a lawn.
Location
The park lies centrally in Zollstock, right next to the municipal primary school on Rosenzweigweg, and borders the Melanchthon church. The surrounding streets – Vorgebirgstraße, Zollstocksweg and Bornheimer Straße – frame this greenery in the middle of the residential quarter.
