Westpark
Westpark is generally understood to be a residential neighborhood in the Sendling-Westpark district. The district extends from Westend to Obersendling and from the S-Bahn line toward Wolfratshausen to Fürstenriederstraße. The Westpark, from which the district takes its name, is centrally located within the district and serves as the most important spatial reference point for the surrounding residential area.
The park plays a central role in the quality of the residential area. With an area of approximately 69 hectares, a variety of recreational opportunities, dining options, international gardens, and public art, Westpark offers a high level of recreational and leisure value. As a result, the residential environment surrounding the park is particularly characterized by green spaces, recreation, and nature-oriented living, and differs significantly from densely built-up inner-city neighborhoods.
