About the Location

Historical Roots

Saint Marcus Commemorative Park has an interesting history. The park started as a German Evangelical cemetery established in 1856 and was closed in 1960.

Since then, it has been transformed into a public space for the community.

Recent Improvements

The park has seen significant improvements in recent years, particularly with the addition of a bike trail. This development has brought new life to what was once described as a "dead space".

The trail project included the planting of hundreds of new trees, the installation of a wide path, signage, and grand entryways, enhancing the park's overall appeal and functionality.

Recreational Opportunities

Saint Marcus Commemorative Park is now accessible and suitable for various activities, including walking and running. Its designated bike path makes it an attractive destination for cyclists as well.
