Future Garden Gelsenkirchen: A Tour into the Green Future of the Emscher Island
This city tour opens up a view of a changing site: On July 5, 2026, the path leads from the Gelsenkirchen Amphitheater into the Nordsternpark, which will be part of the Future Gardens of the International Garden Exhibition Metropolis Ruhr in the summer of 2027. The approximately two-hour walk connects local history, industrial culture, and current urban development into an impressive discovery experience.

Industrial Culture Meets Landscape in Transition
Between the Rhine-Herne Canal and Emscher, a future space is being created that shows the Ruhr area from its transformative side. The IGA is planning new open spaces, climate-adapted urban development, and long-term benefits for the Nordsternpark here. Visitors will experience how a former industrial area is gradually transforming into a modern park landscape.

What Will Be Visible During the Tour
The tour highlights what changes will take place by the exhibition year 2027, which highlights are planned in the Future Garden, and what should remain permanently after the IGA. The city of Gelsenkirchen mentions, among other things, new access points, exhibition areas, climate-resilient designs, and the permanently attractive leisure venue Nordsternpark as perspectives beyond 2027.

Well Prepared for Weather and Paths
The event takes place as an outdoor walk. Weatherproof clothing and sturdy footwear are therefore part of the ideal equipment; if available, safety shoes are particularly useful. The limited number of participants makes registration mandatory, giving the tour a personal and well-supervised format.
