palace park
A large, often artistically designed park that belongs to a palace or palace-like residence.
Am Sonntag sind wir im Schlosspark von Sanssouci spazieren gegangen.
On Sunday we went for a walk in the palace park of Sanssouci.
The word is a clear compound made up of 'das Schloss' (the palace/castle) and 'der Park' (the park). The 's' in the middle is a linking s, which connects the two words.
Der alte Schlosspark ist für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich.
The old palace park is open to the public.
'Schloss-' is a productive component of many words that refer to a palace or castle. Other examples are 'der Schlossgarten' (palace garden), 'das Schlossmuseum' (palace museum), or 'der Schlosshof' (palace courtyard).
Im Schlossmuseum sind wertvolle Gemälde ausgestellt.
Valuable paintings are on display in the palace museum.
Pay attention to the prepositions and case: you go 'in den Schlosspark' (into the palace park; accusative for direction), but you are 'im Schlosspark' (in the palace park; dative for location).
Lass uns morgen in den Schlosspark gehen.
Let's go to the palace park tomorrow.
palace garden
Schlosspark and Schlossgarten both refer to a landscaped green space at a palace. Schlosspark tends to emphasize a larger, park-like character, while Schlossgarten focuses more on garden design; the terms can overlap, however. Therefore, choose Schlosspark when emphasizing spaciousness and Schlossgarten when the distinctly landscaped garden character is important.
Im weitläufigen Schlosspark spazierten wir zwischen alten Bäumen und großen Wiesen.
We walked through the expansive palace park among old trees and broad meadows.
Im kunstvoll angelegten Schlossgarten bewunderten wir die Blumenbeete und Hecken.
In the artfully landscaped palace garden, we admired the flower beds and hedges.
