Beethovenpark
is
an
approximately
40
hectare
big
natural
landscape
park
located
Southwest
in
Cologne
in
the
district
of
Sülz.
Beethovenpark
was
planned
in
1924
to
give
Cologne
a
greener
and
fresher
look
and
finished
3
years
later.
It
was
built
on
an
area
of
a
former
gravel
pit,
that
was
raised
by
debris
from
World
War
2,
which
was
also
utilized
to
created
the
„Pilzberg“
hill
on
the
east
side
of
the
park.
While
there
are
forrest
like
areas
on
the
east
and
west
side
of
the
park,
there
is
a
big
green
meadow
left
out
in
the
middle,
which
is
great
for
sports,
sunbathing
or
having
a
picnic
in
the
warmer
seasons.
The
slope
of
„Pilzberg“
was
left
without
trees,
so
you
have
a
great
view
over
the
park
from
there
and
it
can
be
used
for
sledging
in
winter
or
to
ride
down
your
mountainbike
in
summer
at
least
if
you
take
care
that
you
don’t
collide
with
pedestrians
on
the
foot
of
that
slope.
Beethovenpark
is
in
my
opinion
one
of
the
nicest
parks
in
Cologne,
even
though
it
is
missing
a
lake.
It’s
a
great
place
just
to
take
your
dog
to,
go
for
a
walk
or
jogging
or
to
chill
with
your
friends
(at
least
in
non-covid
times),
when
the
weather
is
good.
Beethovenpark
is
not
a
great
park
for
cycling
I
think,
because
a
central
flat
paved
cycling
path
is
missing,
which
I
could
imagine
to
connect
Klettenbergpark
in
the
east
with
Äußerer
Grüngürtel
and
Decksteiner
Weiher
in
the
periphery,
which
would
make
Sülz
a
lot
more
attractive
to
cyclists,
who
have
to
share
the
streets
with
cars
or
come
in
the
way
of
pedestrians
in
the
parks
currently.
This
is
probably
not
an
option
though
as
the
park
is
a
landscape
protected
area.
As
I
am
writing
this
in
2021
covid
times
having
a
picnic
is
unfortunately
prohibited
right
now.
Also
stargazing
at
night
is
not
an
option
due
to
curfew
after
21
o‘clock,
which
is
a
bit
unfortunate,
I
think.
But
I
will
not
take
this
into
account
for
the
rating.
All
in
all
I’m
very
happy
to
have
this
park
in
my
neighborhood
and
give
it
5
stars
I
would
still
like
to
mention
that
there
is
potential
for
improvement,
like
renewing
the
paths
in
the
periphery,
adding
of
a
bike
path
and
maybe
having
a
public
freshwater
well
for
drinking
somewhere.
Also
it
would
be
a
nicer
place,
if
people
could
keep
the
area
clean
and
take
their
trash
or
use
the
trash
bins,
which
should
ideally
be
be
emptied
regularly
or
even
better
on
an
automated
schedule,
dependent
on
fill
level.
PS:
More
flowers
please.
