Gartenschaupark Rietberg

Gartenschaupark Rietberg is a beautiful garden show park in Rietberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, that grew from the Regional Garden Show of 2008 into a permanent family leisure destination. The park features sweeping lake landscapes, colourful herbaceous borders, areas of undisturbed native vegetation, and a dedicated central zone designed especially for families. Children delight in the Schilfwald playground with its 9-metre reed-trunk climbing structures, a towering slide tower with jungle bridge, thousands of oversized LEGO-style building blocks, the Schnurstracks climbing park, a high ropes course, and a sandy lake beach. Cosy camping pods and witches' huts offer unique overnight stay options for those wishing to extend their visit. Regular events at the Volksbank Arena — including concerts, comedy evenings, and open-air cinema — make the park a vibrant community hub throughout the year.
