The '''Rheinpark''' (meaning: ''Rhine park'') is a 40 hectare (0,4 km²) large urban park along the right bank of the river Rhine in Cologne, Germany. The park lies between the Cologne districts of Deutz and Mülheim and includes a beach club, an open-air theater (the ''Tanzbrunnen'') and a Roman ''Thermae'' styled public bath (the ''Claudius-Therme''). It was voted Germany's best park in 2007.<ref>[http://www.schoenste-parks.de/de_topten07_koeln.htm www.schoenste-parks.de] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719082759/http://www.schoenste-parks.de/de_topten07_koeln.htm |date=2011-07-19 }}</ref>
