Park BBQs

BBQ at Mauerpark

Centrally located, popular but fairly grubby - that's Mauerpark. It's open season for BBQs there all over, except for a little grove of birches and next to the playground.

Since there are few green spaces in the densely built-up Prenzlauer Berg, Mauerpark has developed into a popular meeting place for both Berliners and tourists.

In the Mauerpark, which lies between the districts of Wedding and Prenzlauer Berg, you can have a barbecue anywhere except directly at the playground and in a small birch grove. The green area was the death strip of the former GDR border. Today, on warm days, barbecuing, playing music and cheerful people can be found all over the meadows.

The Mauerpark also offers activities for the whole family, such as a climbing rock or a playground. All 6 to 16 year-olds can care for animals, cook, bake, felt, potter and much more on the youth farm Moritzhof.

Thanks to the fleamarket and the open air karaoke in the open air theatre, the park is always well visited on weekends.
The only drawback is the cleanliness of the Mauerpark, which, unlike other parks, is not the best.

The Top10 insider tip: If you find it too dirty in the Mauerpark and don’t feel like towing, rent a grill and coal right next door in the beach bar Schönwetter* (Bernauer Straße 63) and enjoy the meat you brought yourself.
