The park was created as the primary site for the 1999 Baden-Württemberg State Garden Show.
Its name, DreiLänderGarten, references the unique 'Dreiländereck' (Three-Country Corner) where Germany, France, and Switzerland meet.
The park landscape was designed to bridge the urban transition between Weil am Rhein and the city of Basel.
It is home to the Laguna Badeland, which utilizes the park's proximity to geothermal water resources.
The park's design intentionally obscures the former border barriers that once characterized the area's industrial past.
The DreiLänderGarten is a sprawling 40-hectare park located in Weil am Rhein, serving as a symbolic green link between Germany, France, and Switzerland. Originally developed for the 1999 Landesgartenschau, the park integrates expansive meadows, artificial lakes, and curated garden landscapes. It features the Laguna Badeland leisure complex and the Vitra Campus within its immediate vicinity. The park's topography includes diverse botanical themes, ranging from water-focused aquatic zones to open lawn areas for recreation. Its design emphasizes cross-border connectivity, reflecting the trilateral geographic location of the region. Visitors traverse wide pedestrian paths that connect the German side of the Rhine to the surrounding Basel metropolitan area. The park maintains a mix of wild, natural areas and structured horticultural exhibits.
The elevated viewing platforms near the central lake provide a panoramic perspective of the park's landscape architecture.
Bring a bicycle to traverse the extensive paved trails that link the park to the Rhine promenade.
Combine your visit with a walk to the nearby Vitra Campus for world-class architectural landmarks.
Check the local events calendar, as the open-air stages often host regional concerts and markets.
Do not attempt to walk across the border via unmarked routes, as some peripheral paths lead to restricted industrial or rail property.
Cyclists must yield to pedestrians on designated shared paths; keep pets leashed in marked botanical zones.
