People's Garden
Spring in Népkert

The People's Garden (in Hungarian: Népkert) is a park in Miskolc, Hungary. With an area of 56.921 m² it's the third largest park of Miskolc (after Tapolca-Hejőliget and Csanyik, but since those are in the outer districts, Népkert is the largest park in the city proper. There are many sports facilities in the park.

History

The park was fashioned in the 1870s. At that time it was on the edge of the city; in the next few decades the area became a villa district (several beautiful villas stand there today), and after Miskolc began to grow after World War II, the park became part of today's downtown.
