Volkspark Friedrichshain

Beautiful park located in the former East Berlin. Great place for jogging, cycling, skating, volleyball Beach playing, walking and even rock climbing.

Actually the rock climbing place are few small stones, good enough to improve your technique. Do not expect anything fancy. There is also a Beach Volleyball area, but I think it's only available during summer time. There is a Tennis pitch but not sure if it's private.
There is a pretty funny Propaganda looking statue, apparently being a Monument to the Spanish Civil war. The shinier colour fist makes the statue more impressive. Check also for the Fairy Tale Fountain.
