Playground at Falkenhagener Tor

Climbing, Playing Soccer, and a Graffiti-Covered Climbing Wall

The playground at Falkenhagener Tor is located between Askanierring and Hohenzollernring in the Spandau district and is one of the most spacious play areas in this part of the city. A rope climbing structure, a climbing wall, a multifunctional soccer field with artificial turf, a large suspension bridge, and an area for toddlers make the playground so varied. The climbing wall is not an ordinary climbing frame: The graffiti-covered climbing wall exudes true Berlin charm, making the play equipment itself a statement. Furthermore, there is a zip line, a wooden trampoline, a sandbox, and a slide, so there is truly something for every age group.

It’s also worth taking a look at the history of the place: The area once belonged to the former fortress system of Spandau. The green belt between Askanierring and Hohenzollernring still commemorates this complex, which once had a city gate. This historical context makes a visit even more interesting, especially for curious parents and children.

Falkenhagener Tor Playground: Space to Relax and for Everyone

The playground is very spacious and equipped with diverse play options. It makes a clean and well-maintained impression and offers both seating and shaded areas. So, if you need a break, you’ll find plenty of space to breathe. Through its design and special equipment, the playground creates play and exercise opportunities for multiple age groups simultaneously, as well as for children with disabilities. For example, access to the suspension bridge has been made barrier-free, fall protection areas are wheelchair accessible, and a nest swing and a large jump sheet have been integrated.

Additionally, older children have the opportunity to play soccer or basketball on the pitch. During the participation process in the planning and construction phases, students from neighboring primary schools collaborated under the guidance of specialists. This is noticeable: The playground at Falkenhagener Tor doesn’t feel like it was planned from above, but rather like a place truly designed for children.
