The park is traversed by wide paths, while the different garden areas are separated by spacious lawns bordered by trees. Besides geometrically landscaped flowerbeds, the park also contains themed gardens like the lily garden, which has a pond surrounded by pillars that provide welcome shade in summer.
Altogether, the Nordpark has 4000 square metres of ponds, fountains and water features. If you enter the Nordpark from the Kaiserswerther Straße, the view into the park is dominated by the water features in the 170-metre-long basin, and the subsequent large fountain further along this axis.
The beautifully planted flowerbeds, which are completely replanted twice a year and which cover a total area of 3800 square metres, are also a popular attraction whatever the season. The convenient location of the Nordpark is also part of its draw: above all its proximity to the Rhine and its easterly extension along the so-called “Memorial Axis” to the Nordfriedhof cemetery, make it a popular destination for a leisurely stroll.
