The site of today's Carl-Alexander Park in Baesweiler was part of the Carl-Alexander pit, a hard coal mine in Baesweiler and belonged to the Aachen hard coal district. Coal mining stopped in 1975 and the Carl Alexander Park was created here as part of the EuRegionale 2008. The most important design elements of the park are: a landscape artery connecting the park with Beeckfliess and Wurmtal, a mountain foyer with restaurants, the ascent to the heap with a suspension footbridge and suspension bridge, the mountain plateau with a viewing platform and a mountain park at the foot of the heap. The CAP also includes a technology and commercial area and a youth camp with play and sports facilities.

The park at the Carl-Alexander-Halde is equipped with lots of play equipment and seating. With its clearings, groves, vantage points and rest areas, the park invites you to linger, walk, cycle and discover. From the red mountain foyer you can hike over a 25-meter-long suspension bridge, the Schwebesteg and the Himmelsstiege to the Halde or you can take the gravel path to the summit. The view from the top is magnificent!
