The park's topography was deliberately shaped during the landscape reclamation process to vary from flat lawns to elevated vantage points.
Seepark Lünen is a former coal mine site in the Ruhr region transformed into a 63-hectare recreational area centered around a 10-hectare lake. The park features an 18-hole disc golf course that winds through varied terrain and wooded sections. The landscape design incorporates remnants of industrial history, including preserved structures and re-naturalized embankments. Visitors utilize the central lake for swimming, while expansive meadow areas are designated for picnics and leisure. The site is managed by the Regionalverband Ruhr (RVR) as part of the regional green belt initiative. Walking and cycling paths circumnavigate the water, connecting to the broader regional trail network. It serves as a primary local recreation hub for the districts of Lünen and Bergkamen.
