Petuelpark

About

Petuelpark in Munich is a modern green space that bridges the districts of Schwabing-West and Milbertshofen, built directly above the Petueltunnel and opened in 2004. Covering 7.4 hectares, it transforms what was once a busy traffic corridor into a lively recreational area with wide lawns, themed gardens, and the Nymphenburg‑Biedersteiner Canal flowing through its southern edge. The park features multiple playgrounds, a football pitch, a café, and the popular Fontänenplatz, where water jets arc from the ground in summer. Art is woven into the landscape via a sculpture trail with contemporary works, while the Generation Garden offers residents the chance to cultivate their own plots. Elevated grassy areas provide open views, and shaded paths invite leisurely walks or cycling. Designed as both a meeting place and a link in Munich’s green network, Petuelpark blends nature, art, and community in a setting that feels far removed from the traffic humming below.

Location

Petuelpark is a modern urban park located in northern Munich, between the Milbertshofen-Am Hart and Schwabing-West districts. It sits above the Petueltunnel, part of the city’s Middle Ring road system, and stretches approximately 650 meters from west to east, offering about 5.5 hectares of green space. The park features two distinct levels, with landscaped gardens, open lawns, a café called Café Ludwig, and various activity zones including peaceful garden areas and lively spots for relaxation. The park serves as a green corridor that connects different neighborhoods, promoting ecological balance and pedestrian pathways. Nearby, visitors find the Pfennigparade, a center for people with disabilities, along with good public transport links via U-Bahn lines U3 and U8, and several bus and tram routes. The park’s unique design and location above a tunnel help reduce traffic noise, making it a pleasant oasis within the urban environment.
