Ostpark, Park in Ramersdorf-Perlach, Munich, Germany
Ostpark is a large recreational park in Munich's Neuperlach district, centered around a lake surrounded by walking paths, open grass areas, and sports facilities. The grounds offer different zones for walking, playing, and relaxing.
The park was created in the 1970s as a green space for the newly developing Neuperlach neighborhood. It was designed from the start to provide recreational space for the growing population of the area.
The Michaeligarten beer garden on the north shore has 3,000 seats and is run by Haberl Gastronomie, with a restaurant as well as beer garden service. The park also holds a small open-air stage, the "Theatron", used for performances.
The lake is fed by groundwater wells rather than the nearby Hachinger Bach, a supply rejected for water-protection reasons. In winter the roughly 700-metre loop around the central lake island becomes a natural ice-skating circuit. The Michaelibad open-air pool borders the park directly, and its indoor pool, added in 1973, sits alongside.
In the 1970s, a small summer ski jumping hill operated here for just a few years. This unusual facility shows how experimental the park's original designers were in creating diverse activities.
