The park is an important place for everyone to relax and take refuge - staff, visitors, patients, residents, etc. Deckchairs, benches and the green spaces invite you to recharge your batteries in the park and there is a barefoot path for sensory experiences.
The park of the Claraspital is almost as it was when it was designed in 1865, with an impressive size of around 24,500 square metres. The once splendid summer residence of a wealthy Basel family has an eventful past - including many summer night festivals, which many of us have also been able to attend in more recent times. The Claraspital park is beneficial for patients, staff and the public: there are a number of studies that prove the health-promoting influence of time spent outdoors, especially in nature. Urban greenery has a direct impact on well-being and quality of life.
