Between Industrial History and Green Transformation
The RheinPark represents a significant transformation: former industrial sites have been turned into a spacious recreational area with a relation to the Rhine, a promenade, and open green spaces. Official city and IGA sources describe the park as the main exhibition area of the IGA 2027 in Duisburg and as part of a large urban transformation that reconnects the city with the river.

What Makes the Tour Special
This tour is not just about fences and plans, but about the idea behind the future garden: What new paths are being created, which areas are being redesigned, and how will the RheinPark benefit long-term from the garden exhibition? According to the event description, visitors will gain insights into planned measures, new elements, and the future use of the area.

A Site Overlooking the Rhine, Beach, and Promenade
The RheinPark covers about 60 hectares, features a 1.4-kilometer-long riverside promenade and a 300-meter-long sandy beach. Additionally, there are sporty and landscape accents that have characterized the place for years and make it a versatile urban space. The tour thus represents a mix of local history, changing architecture, and vibrant Ruhr Area landscape.
