Görlitzer Park

Görlitzer Park is a roughly 14-hectare green space in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin, equipped with several sports courts, a petting zoo, and a small pond. Around the water, lawns and mature trees spread out, while an artificial hill marks the northern section.

The site was occupied by Görlitzer Railway Station until 1951, which was torn down in 1962 despite citizen protests. The park was then laid out gradually and retained some remnants of the former rail infrastructure.

The name recalls the former rail link to Görlitz, while today the space serves as a meeting ground for neighbors from many backgrounds. In summer, groups gather on the lawns, children play around the artificial hill at the northern end, and local teams use the sports courts.

Several U-Bahn stations and bus lines in the surrounding area provide direct access. The paths are mostly level and the park is easy to explore on foot, best during daylight hours.

The remaining tunnel walls from the former rail line form a natural arch in the middle section of the grounds. This structure now occasionally serves as a backdrop for open-air events.
