Bäkepark, Public park in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Germany.
Bäkepark is an eight-hectare public green space in Steglitz that follows the Bäke, which runs above ground here for the first time. It stretches from Haydnstraße in the north to the Paul-Schwarz-Promenade on the Teltow Canal, with a bulge reaching Birkbuschstraße and the Klingsorstraße crossing it. The Bäketeich lies in the southern part.
Bäkepark was laid out in the early 20th century, before Steglitz was incorporated into Greater Berlin in 1920. It was later known for a time as Haydnpark, and a small wood already stood on the site beforehand. The park follows the course of the Bäke, which first runs above ground at its northern end on Haydnstraße.
The park's name comes from the Bäke, the stream that runs through it and first flows above ground at the Haydnstraße in the north. In the south, at the Teltow Canal, the Dampferanlegestelle Steglitz (Bäkepark) lets excursion boats stop directly by the green space.
The park runs from Haydnstraße in the north, where the Bäke flows above ground for the first time, south to the Paul-Schwarz-Promenade on the Teltow Canal. The Klingsorstraße crosses it from northeast to southwest, and the Bäketeich lies in the southern part. The Steglitz (Bäkepark) boat landing is in the south.
Six individual trees in the park are listed as natural monuments for their rarity: two yews, a field elm, a sycamore maple, a hornbeam and a plane tree. The Bäketeich pond lies in the southern part of the grounds, near the Teltow Canal.
