Freizeitpark Marienfelde

Freizeitpark Marienfelde is a large recreation park on Berlin's southern edge featuring multiple areas for outdoor pursuits and nature exploration. The grounds include diverse landscape types with meadows, forested sections, and paths for walking and cycling.

The site functioned as a waste disposal area from 1950 to 1981 before undergoing restoration. The land was later transformed into a recreation park, reflecting postwar urban development in Berlin.

The park serves as a space where visitors connect with nature and local wildlife in an urban setting. People can observe different habitats and seasonal changes in the landscape throughout the year.

Access to the grounds is available through two major cycling routes that intersect the park and allow movement on foot or by bicycle. The paths are clearly marked and suitable for different fitness levels.

From the park's highest point, visitors can observe Berlin's urban landscape and the adjacent protected heathland nature area. This viewpoint offers a rare perspective on where the city meets the surrounding countryside.
