Jena Paradise | Volkspark Oberaue

Paradise is considered a green oasis in the middle of the city center, offering something for everyone with its diversity. Consisting of three spacious, adjoining green areas, the nature reserve is a place for sport, play and relaxation.

A green oasis of well-being or a romping place for active people, chill-outs and lovers: Jena Paradies Park, which has been classified as a cultural monument since 2002, consists of the green spaces Rasenmühleninsel, Paradies and Oberaue and lives up to its name. In all kinds of weather, whole crowds meet here to spend time together.

Whether concerts in the Glashaus or open air, games, sports or cozy barbecues: Jena locals, Jenens residents and guests alike cavort in the park, which is located directly on the Saale river. They all enjoy the luxury of being surrounded by green diversity in the middle of the city center.

The paradise has plenty to offer for all kinds of interests: In addition to a large children's playground, a slackline facility and a skate park, there are covered seating areas and tables. If you don't have your own barbecue with you, you can stop off at Strand22 or the ParadiesCafé.

Skate park in Paradise

Skating in the middle of Jena's Paradiespark: when planning the skate park, great importance was attached to wall rides, high jumps, spectacular transfers and an optimal arrangement of the elements. An extra street section was created for street riders, consisting of a pyra with various curbs, Londengab and Ollibox - so there's something for everyone!

Slackline facility

A casual slackline facility with excellent conditions has also been set up for balance artists in the middle of Jena's Paradiespark. There is a fixed line for beginners as well as several attachment points (steel bollards) for your own lines.
