The park was originally established in the 17th century by Louise Henriette of Orange, who commissioned the palace as her residence.
The current garden design incorporates the 2009 State Garden Show masterplan, which transformed the industrial-era brownfields into a manicured green belt.
The park features an 'Orangerie' that houses a permanent exhibition regarding the history of the Orange-Nassau influence in the region.
A floating bridge system connects different sections of the park across the Havel river branches.
The park grounds contain a large adventure playground designed to reflect the local maritime history of the region.
Schlosspark Oranienburg is a historic baroque garden ensemble surrounding the oldest extant baroque palace in the Mark Brandenburg region. The park underwent an extensive redesign for the 2009 Brandenburg State Garden Show, integrating modern landscape architecture with historical elements. It features the Havel River flowing directly through the park grounds, creating a landscape integrated with the surrounding waterways. Visitors can access a large orange greenhouse, a distinct orangery, and diverse themed botanical sections. The layout includes wide walking paths, water basins, and expansive lawns surrounding the 17th-century palace architecture. It serves as a regional hub for outdoor events and serves as the primary green space for the city of Oranienburg. The park is characterized by its linear sightlines and symmetrical design typical of the post-Renaissance period.
