What it is
It has lawns, paths, sports areas, a children’s farm, a flea market, street music, and open air karaoke. [1]
Practical
The park is free to enter, and the Sunday flea market runs from 09:00 to 18:00. [1]
No visitor booking is required for the park or the flea market. [1]
Open karaoke usually runs on summer Sundays from about 15:00 to 19:00 or 19:30, subject to listed exceptions. [1]
Price check: 2026-08-02. Park entry and karaoke are free, while market goods and food have changing prices. [1][2]
Times and seasons
Who it suits, and when
Families use the playground and children’s farm, while visitors and residents use the market, lawns, sports areas, and karaoke. [1]
People who want a quiet walk should avoid Sunday afternoon in summer, when the market, music, and karaoke overlap. [1]
UNVERIFIED estimate: allow 1 to 3 hours, or most of a Sunday afternoon if combining the market, park, and karaoke. [1]
What is not obvious
Graffiti is permitted on the park side of the remaining wall, while commercial filming needs an agreement with Grün Berlin GmbH. [1]
History
The site was used as a parade ground, then as a goods station, and from 1961 to 1989 as part of the Berlin Wall border strip. [1]
Landscape architect Gustav Lange designed the park, and the first part was completed in 1994 with support from local residents and the Allianz Environmental Foundation. [1]
The western extension opened on 26 June 2020, increasing the park from about 8 hectares to 15 hectares. [1]
Since 1 January 2025, Grün Berlin GmbH has cared for the original eastern park and Falkplatz, while the western extension was already maintained by Grün Berlin. [1]
