Great place to wander with your dog for a few hours…read more It is a little intense on weekends, with 5 million city dogs on sensory overload. Smaller dogs can get bulldozed pretty easily by exuberant large breeds. Water dogs will be especially happy here, but sometimes the water is not very healthy from algae, so bring your own water to be on the safe side.

Tiergarten is a very-very large park. And, when I say it it very large, I do mean it is truly very…read morelarge. It is one of the biggest city parks I have ever experienced. Located right in the heart of Berlin, Tiergarten is almost impossible to miss, as all roads lead to it or through it. Once inside this park, you'll you'll find a very large amount of all kinds of trees, plants, grass, and shrubbery. The park is truly a testament to a vast natural space in the center of a city. You will see people riding their bikes, running, walking, and just kicking back on the grass throughout the park. As urban as most of Berlin tends to be, this park is truly a space for a person to workout in nature or just commune with all that is natural. The one thing I will say, that I find very curious about this park, is that there are very few restrooms. You really have to walk a distance to one if you need to use the facilities. From this, I have seen a number of people, particularly men, just using the side of a tree to relieve themselves. I imagine, as vast as this park is, where there are numerous private places, this is not that uncommon of an occurrence. This is not a criticism, this is just something for your to keep in mind if you come to this park. Be aware, you should know where one of the few restrooms are located before you enter the park, just in case you realize you need to go. Overall, this a great park. A fun place to just walk and enjoy nature and some peace in Berlin.

One of the most disappointing parks I've ever been to. I was expecting something like Central Park…read moreor even at least something like Chapultepec Park in Mexico. Instead it's just a giant swamp filled with bicyclists, nowhere to sit, nothing to see. Very few benches. Sprinklers that spray pathways. It's right next to the Bundestag and Brandenburg Gate and absolutely does not share the magnificence of those places.

Very aesthetically pleasing little park. Slightly hilly for a run. Suitable to bring small children…read morefor a day trip. Not far from Alt Tempelhof and close to the mall along side a river. Popular with pet owners however it's a low key place for runners. A nicer alternative to running on the sidewalk. There is more space to dodge opposite oncoming walkers. Feels less crowded than other close by areas for a casual jog.

Treptower Park is admittedly not a place I frequent so often, especially considering how close I…read morelive to it. However, it is a place that I am fond of and enjoy every time I am there. In particular, its location on the water is a major positive. There is almost always a cool breeze and plenty of things to see, such as people on boat cruises. The wide expanse of green lawns means that there are plenty of people picnicking, studying, or playing frisbee, but it never tends to be overcrowded - another plus point in my book. The park is also home to a beer garden (Das Zenner), a former amusement park (Spreepark), the Soviet War Memorial, rose gardens and fountains, and it leads over to the Insel der Jugend, another interesting place to check out. All in all, a great place to relax and take it easy without worrying about the crowds.

Viktoria-Luise-Platz may not be as large as other neighborhood parks in Berlin, but it's a lovely…read morelittle area that's perfect for socializing and relaxing. It's one of those ideal spots where you could spread a blanket on the green grass and read a book until your heart's content; have a picnic with loved ones; or work on that tan when the weather's right -- and when the weather's right *everyone* seems to venture out of their homes to work on their tans. In the center of the park stands a large fountain that I've noticed has a dual purpose. Not only is it a decorative feature, but it serves as an outdoor bathtub for both children and dogs. Nearby Viktoria-Luise-Platz is the U-Bahn which shares the same name. Stores, cafes, and ice cream shops are also within walking distance. Tucked away from noisy streets, this small park has its peaceful moments which provide neighborhood residents with a place to clear their minds and enjoy life in Berlin.

Viktoria-Luise-Platz is a charming square on Motzstrasse - with a fountain and seating. When we…read morewandered through, plenty of people were reading books on the lawn of the square. There are also restaurants around the square (or down the streets leading up to the square). I highly recommend picking up some gelato at Viktoria Eis and walking toward and around the square!
