Tempelhofer Park
 
     Most large international cities would have turned an unused airport into housing or industrial land, but in Berlin the expansive Templehof Field has been opened up as a space for the public to enjoy and enjoy it they do.
The old Templehof airport was a rich part of Berlin's history. Today the unused runways and tarmacs remain along with massive amounts of greenspace - open areas where all kinds of outdoor activities can be enjoyed. Barbeques, inpromptu sports, cycling, rollerblading, running, flying kites, carnivals. The list goes on and on.
The 950 acre park is the perfect location for outdoor festivals, music events and art exhibits. Six acres are dedicated to BBQs and there's a massive picnic area. Local residents can grow produce in the urban garden section and dog owners have several places where their dogs can run freely.
Kiting is very popular. Even if you aren't participating, you'll can enjoy watching the many large and sophisticated kites dancing in the wind.
The history of the old airport is interesting in its own right. Aviation pioneer, Orville Wright was the first person to take to the skies from Tempelhof Field. Later in the 1920s came the zeppelins followed by commercial flights. It was a major centre of Nazi aircraft operations during WWII. Once the largest airport in the country, it gradually became outdated as resources went into the newer Tegel Airport. In 1908 Tempelhof was shut down and the city generously chose to make the grounds an expansive public park.
For a modest fee visitors can enjoy an interesting tour of the former airport buildings.

Tempelhofer Park Reviews
Rated  out of 5
 Tempelhofer Feld is one of those truly unique urban spaces that captures the spirit of Berlin perfectly. Once an airport, now transformed into a massive open park, it offers a refreshing and spacious escape from the city’s buzz — and yet it’s right in the heart of it.
It’s the perfect place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon or to meet up with friends any day of the week. Whether you’re into cycling, skating, jogging, flying kites, or simply lying in the grass and enjoying the open sky, this place has it all. The scale of it alone is impressive — wide runways turned into tracks for anything on wheels, endless green areas for picnics or casual hangouts, and always a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere.
You can rent electric bikes, grab an ice cream or a drink from one of the small stands, or bring your own picnic and find your perfect spot. It’s clean, spacious, relaxed, and full of life — but never overcrowded.
What makes it really special is the Berlin vibe: casual, creative, unpretentious. It’s not a typical tourist attraction, but definitely something you shouldn’t miss — a place that shows a different, more local side of the city. Tempelhofer Feld is not just a park, it’s an experience — and one that very few cities in the world can offer. Definitely worth a visit!

 Tempelhof is a fantastic multi-purpose, physical activity space, especially on a sunny day. Riding my bike freely across the vast open areas was incredibly refreshing and peaceful, far from city traffic. The park offers something for everyone, from sports to relaxation, making it a perfect urban escape. I highly recommend visiting to enjoy the unique sense of freedom and fresh air. Especially for the Neukölln, Tempelhof crowd :).

 This is a former airport and airfield, which have been decommissioned and preserved for free public use. The vastness and openness of the field impart a sense of freedom. People walk, cycle, roller skate, hang out, picnic, and generally enjoy themselves. We were lucky to see a rainbow at sunset on a warm July evening, which made the place even more enjoyable.

 Highly interesting Tour «Myths of Tempelhof« in English. It is quite a walk through that huge building. But we saw the historic airport structures and the airfield from unexpected angles and viewpoints. Our fantastic Tour guide shared a lot of facts but left enough time for requests and pics along the Tour. In two hours packed with amazing walk & talk we travelled through nine decades of Berlins history.
