Berlin's oldest public park and delights visitors with small lakes
Located on the border between the Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain district, the urban Volkspark is - as the name suggests - a popular retreat for young people, families and strollers alike. There are many opportunities for recreation such as sports grounds and playgrounds, outdoor cafés where city dwellers relax, and a barbecue area for summer days. Laid out between 1846 and 1848, Volkspark Friedrichshain was conceived right from the start as a park for the people, not the crown or the nobility.
