The splash pad at Nordbahnhof is located on Invalidenstraße, at the corner of Eichendorffstraße, directly opposite the S-Bahn station. Water-spouting fish, spray elements, showers, and a hand pump operate alternately, triggered by motion sensors. The used water collects in underground tanks and irrigates the park's sunbathing lawns.
Right on the Great Wannsee and at the edge of the Grunewald forest: The Wannseeterrassen in Zehlendorf is one of Berlin's most famous excursion restaurants, with lake views, a spacious terrace, and cuisine blending German and French traditions.
The Bim & Boom indoor playground in Berlin-Marzahn has existed for 20 years and is exclusively for children up to twelve years old. In addition to a trampoline area, labyrinth, and cannon system, there is a private go-kart track, which is found in hardly any other indoor playground in Berlin. The tram stops directly in front of the door, and parking in front of the building is free.
Monbijoupark is the last public barbecue area in the Mitte district: a small, signposted lawn near Oranienburger Straße, opposite Museum Island and within sight of the Bode Museum and New Synagogue. No registration or fees are required; bring your own grill. The central location for barbecuing in the park comes with the need for an early arrival.
The water playground on the Blütenachse in Britzer Garten is built as a rock landscape: Water emerges from a mountain spring and flows through streams, whose course children can redirect themselves at weirs. Since 2024, a 14.5-meter-wide water labyrinth consisting of five circles with floor-level nozzles and push-button controls has been added.
The Wrangelstraße playground in Kreuzberg is entirely designed as an underwater world: blue asphalt and a blue ball-catching fence represent the sea, while steps and columns symbolize a sunken temple. A whale sprays water in the mud area, and the main attractions are a Neptune's temple and a giant octopus for climbing, sliding, and swinging.
Viktoriapark extends up the Kreuzberg hill, crowned by the National Monument for the Liberation Wars, designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. From the summit, a 24-meter-high artificial waterfall plunges through a mountainous landscape. The meadows originate from the expansion between 1913 and 1916; grilling is not permitted in the park.
The paddling pool at Weißen See has existed since 1920 and is still in use today - making it the oldest facility on this list. Four walrus statues feed several water nozzles into a long, very shallow basin. The adjacent playground areas were newly built for 326,000 Euros, directly on the almost circular lake with its 1.3-kilometer-long promenade.
Lietzensee Park in Charlottenburg surrounds Lake Lietzensee, with paths leading all the way around the water. Between the shore and the street are sunbathing lawns where people picnic and play ball, along with benches with lake views, a playground, and a restaurant in the old boathouse. The park is protected as a garden monument, and barbecuing is not allowed here.
Humboldthain People's Park in Gesundbrunnen was laid out from 1869 onwards to mark Alexander von Humboldt's hundredth birthday, designed by garden director Gustav Meyer.

The Zollpackhof beer garden in Berlin's government district, directly on the Spree, serves Augustiner from wooden barrels with a view of the Federal Chancellery. Bavarian classics, centuries-old chestnut trees, and one of the city's longest gastronomic histories.
The paddling pool at Forckenbeckplatz in Friedrichshain is part of the established adventure playground Forcki - this combination of water play area and construction playground is unique in Berlin. The site includes a large paddling fountain, another water feature, a zip line, a treehouse, a climbing wall, and a large sandbox.
The Rudolph-Wilde-Park lies in a depression in Schöneberg and is so strictly protected as a garden monument that not even fitness equipment may be installed there. Its landmark is August Gaul's Golden Stag, joined by a pond, a large lawn and a subway station in the middle of the park with a rooftop terrace. Grilling is not allowed.
Loretta am Wannsee is located in Zehlendorf directly on the water, just a few steps from Wannsee S-Bahn station. For Christmas parties in the restaurant, the glazed winter garden with views over the lake is particularly appealing. Additionally, there's an ice stock sport lane on the premises and individual offers for company groups of all sizes.
Volkspark Friedrichshain is Berlin's first municipal park, opened in 1848 and now covering 53 hectares. It features Ludwig Hoffmann's Fairy Tale Fountain, the two rubble hills Mont Klamott, and one of the city's few official barbecue areas. Among Berlin's parks, it offers the densest mix of history and everyday life.

Imagination and the urge to move are brought together here on a generous area.
Jolos Kinder-Welt occupies approximately 1,500 square meters on a single level at Tempelhofer Berg in Kreuzberg.

For children aged one to twelve, it is one of Berlin's most unusual addresses.
Hidden in the middle of Bäkepark in Steglitz is one of Berlin's most beautiful playgrounds: around 3,000 square meters of Africa and adventure, right by the Teltow Canal. Wooden giraffes, zebras, and palm trees create a jungle atmosphere, while climbing towers, zip lines, and hammocks do the rest.
Gleisdreieck Park in Kreuzberg is more than just a playground. Multiple play areas, a nature exploration space, and the legendary 'Stangenwald' (pole forest) make this expansive green area one of the most versatile play spaces in the city.
The circular spray pad on the Spielberg in Ernst-Thälmann-Park stands on the foundations of the former gasometers, and its circular shape specifically refers to this. It includes a slide made of polished concrete, climbing frames on heritage-protected brick walls, climbing nets in the sand, and a newly planted pergola with fragrant herbs.
