Westpark
Aachen
The Westpark has already had a number of functions. Zoological garden at the turn of the century in 1900, recreation home for soldiers during the First World War, pond and animal park. Today, Westpark is a meeting place for young and old. With various sports and play facilities, it's not just children who enjoy a nice day outdoors. The special thing about Westpark is that it is one of the few parks where barbecues are allowed in designated areas (meadow on Weststraße), making it a popular meeting place for families and students. However, out of consideration for local residents, the Westpark is also closed at night from 22:00.
