Sinai Park
The Sinaipark is an urban green space in the city of Frankfurt am Main . The 4.6 hectare park in the Dornbusch district to the north of the city center was created from 1983 to 1986 on the former site of the Sinai nursery , after which the park is named.
Location and facilities
The Sinaipark, whose ground plan has the shape of an irregular polygon, is located in the north of the Dornbusch district. The slightly hilly park area is framed in the northeast and west by busy main roads; in the west this is the busy Eschersheimer Landstrasse , in the northeast the park borders on Jean-Monnet-Strasse, the northern continuation of the Eckenheimer Landstrasse and feeder to the federal motorway 661 . In the north, the Heinrich-von-Stephan-Siedlung and a school area border the green area, in the south a residential street of the Dornbusch West settlement and another school area; There is an allotment garden on the eastern edge of the park.
The park's facilities include extensive sunbathing lawns, a total of three children's playgrounds for different age groups and an asphalt streetball court. The south-eastern part of the Sinai Park, with its meadow and partly dense trees and shrubs, is only cultivated to a limited extent and is almost entirely overgrown. This part of the complex, known as the “Sinai Wilderness”, is home to several species of insects, songbirds and small mammals and is a protected landscape area.
On the east side of the park, the park turns into the green spaces at the end of Fritz-Tarnow-Straße, the Eckenheimer green corridor. There, near the playground, there is a bronze “group of figures” on the footpath. In 1984, the sculptor Anneliese Sund created a 1.60 meter long park bench on which a man is sitting and behind which another man is standing.
Transport links
The Sinaipark can be reached by public transport with the underground lines U1 to U3 as well as the line U8 of the Frankfurter Verkehrsgesellschaft VgF , which run above ground in north-south direction on Eschersheimer Landstrasse. The stop of all four lines closest to the park is Fritz-Tarnow-Straße . There is a small number of parking spaces for motorized private transport in the side streets of the Eschersheimer Landstrasse north and south of the Sinaipark. A pedestrian bridge crosses Jean-Monnet-Strasse into the park from the Eckenheim district to the northeast . Access to the park is barrier-free from all sides .
