Parks

Parks are important green recreational and leisure areas in the increasingly hectic hustle and bustle of the Berlin metropolis. Stressed city dwellers need space for recreation, cultural and sporting activities, older people who are young at heart are looking for health-promoting activities and families with children need places to play and run around. The importance of parks as open spaces for Berlin became even clearer during the coronavirus crisis. However, parks are not only a place for relaxation, enjoyment, inspiration and social participation for citizens: The diverse flora and fauna also need protected spaces to preserve biodiversity and strengthen climate resilience.

Grün Berlin manages and develops 800 hectares of open spaces with several million visitors per year, including the Gärten der Welt, Park am Gleisdreieck, Spreepark and Tempelhofer Feld, some of Berlin's most important parks with supra-regional appeal. As a partner of the Senate and the boroughs, we operate and develop the green open spaces in a service-orientated manner for all Berliners and with the involvement of the urban community.
