Mellowpark, Outdoor sports complex in Köpenick, Germany
Mellowpark is a large skatepark and sports complex in the Köpenick district of Berlin, with dedicated areas for BMX, skateboarding, basketball, and table tennis. The site sits along the Spree river and offers both covered and open-air sections designed for different skill levels.
The skatepark opened in 1999 on the site of a disused cable factory on Friedrichshagener Straße, run by the all eins e. V. association founded in 1994. It closed in 2008 after a residential development was planned next door, and after protests and petitions the city found a new site between An der Wuhlheide and the Spree. The new Mellowpark opened there in August 2012 with the Highway to Hill event.
Mellowpark is one of the few spots in Berlin where skaters, BMX riders, and inline skaters share the same grounds without getting in each other's way. The crowd tends to be open and multigenerational, making it a natural gathering point for anyone drawn to wheeled sports.
The site is easy to reach by S-Bahn, with the nearest station a short walk away. Bringing protective gear is recommended, as some areas require a helmet and knee pads to ride.
The covered hall was converted from a former ping-pong hall during the two-year rebuild after 2010. Riders also shaped the bowl, the pumptrack and Rudis Reste Rampe, a ramp built from leftovers of the old Mellowpark site. The 350-metre course hosted the Highway to Hill contest in May 2010, before the park was officially opened.
