Playground in Volkspark Friedrichshain

“Indian Village” Playground: Adventure in Volkspark

Anyone familiar with Volkspark Friedrichshain knows: the park has a lot to offer. But deep within the park lies a playground that immediately captivates children. The “Indian Village” playground is decorated with exciting animal carvings and is intended as a homage to the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The theme consistently runs through the entire facility.

The extensive playground is fenced in greenery and divided into two areas: one for smaller children, one for older children. While the youngest dig in the sandpit or romp on spring rockers, a full program awaits older children. The older ones leave the Indian Village via a suspension bridge, demonstrating climbing and balance. There is also a zip line to let off steam. If you think that’s enough, you’re mistaken: a climbing wall, nest swing, hammock, and horizontal bar ensure that boredom never sets in.

One of Berlin’s best playgrounds for families

The “Indian Village” playground impresses not only with its theme but, above all, with its equipment. Those explicitly looking for long, fast zip lines will find one of the longest publicly accessible facilities in the city in Volkspark Friedrichshain. That alone is a reason for an excursion. Added to this is the relaxed atmosphere: a large lawn invites you to linger in good weather while the children play to their heart’s content. The playground in Volkspark Friedrichshain is one of the district’s most famous and best-maintained attractions, and Prenzlauer Berg is not without reason considered one of Berlin’s most child-friendly neighborhoods. Shady benches for parents complete the offer. An outing that is worthwhile for the whole family.
