Westpark is a 72-hectare landscape park in Munich, originally designed for the 1983 International Garden Exhibition (IGA '83). The grounds feature two large artificial lakes, the Mollsee and the Rosengarten lake, connected by winding paths. It houses distinct international garden sections, including a Japanese garden, a Chinese garden, a Nepalese pagoda, and a Thai sala. The park is home to the Rosengarten, which contains over 500 species of roses. An open-air theater located within the park hosts film screenings and concerts during the summer months. The topography consists of varied hills and valleys created from rubble during the park's construction phase. It serves as a central recreational hub for the Sendling-Westpark district with numerous playgrounds and barbecue zones. The park remains open to the public year-round as a city-managed green space.
