Tempelhofer Feld, Former airport turned urban park in Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Germany.
The 386-hectare recreational space features paved runways, grassy areas, and specially designated zones for various outdoor activities throughout the year.
Before becoming an urban park in 2010, Tempelhofer Feld functioned as Berlin Tempelhof Airport and played a central role during the 1948-1949 Berlin Airlift.
The park hosts multiple community gardens where residents cultivate vegetables in raised beds, creating spaces for urban agriculture and social connection.
Visitors access six kilometers of trails for cycling, skating, and jogging, with separate sections allocated for barbecuing and dog walking activities.
The preserved airport runways remain intact within the park, allowing people to exercise and socialize on the same surfaces where aircraft once landed.

Berlin presents a different side away from the usual landmarks. This selection features lesser-known places where history blends with modern creativity. The former Tempelhof Airport transformed into a public park, Teufelsberg built on war debris with its old American listening station, or the Boros Collection housed in a Second World War bunker, reflect the city's turbulent past. The Spreepark, an abandoned amusement park from the GDR era, and the Monster Cabinet with its mechanical installations offer unusual experiences. These sites tell Berlin in a different way. From the Spy Museum detailing espionage during the Cold War to Badeschiff, a swimming pool built on the Spree, to the radio tower Funkturm with views of the German capital, each location has its unique character. Local markets, underground galleries, and stands like Curry 36, a Berlin institution since 1980, complete this exploration of a city with many faces, where each neighborhood retains its own features.
