In 1993, the first part of Hüttenpark was completed and completed completely two years later. Prior to this, the site of the smelting park was an industrial wasteland with an area of about 2,300 square meters. 40 hectares. In the west of the park, from the back of the city until mid-2020, old machine parts are on display from the shack era. These all have information boards. This part of the site was a leisure park with many green spaces before mid-2020, which is currently undergoing renovation and will become a consumer market from 2021. In this regard, the old machine parts and panels will be reinstalled after renovation. The rediscovered Heinitzbach River, which was completely buried underground for a long time, was integrated into this part of the terrain. Today, it flows openly to the bridge between the parking deck in the center of Sal Park and the new blower hall, and then from there to the blower underground. Every station in Neunkircher Hüttenweg, which runs through the area, is equipped with information boards. Guided tour service is provided once a month.
