Neighborhood Parks

Please see the following link of Kinderportal Potsdam (official children´s website of the city of Potsdam) to find a playground and activities in your area. Furthermore interesting tips are offered to childen of all ages.

Freundschaftsinsel

Freundschaftsinsel hosts a beloved and spacious playground with a nautical theme: the jungle gyms look like ship skeletons stuck in the sand. A restaurant and bathroom facilities are nearby, but not directly at the playground. Highlights include a nest swing, slide, water games / mud pit, monkey bars, wobble bridge, jungle gym, and sand box. For ages 0-12.

Volkspark Potsdam

The Volkspark Potsdam offers a variety of different playgrounds and recreation areas. The rustic playground „ZickZack in die Wipfel“ offers many possibilities for climbing, dangling and balancing under old oak trees. A small grotto becomes a robber’s cave, new surprises await you around every corner in the labyrinth and the whole family fits into the large nest swing. Like a futuristic octopus, the giant slide with its metal tube slides reaches into the landscape and, with its twelve-metre-high winding tubes, offers a special kind of sliding fun. The water playground is the summer highlight of the Volkspark: here you will find a 900 square metre water pool with wooden rafts, a fine „sandy beach“, water-spouting fish, a lawn for sunbathing and a café in the park for ice cream, meals or snacks. On the „pirate boats“, the toddlers quickly turn into big pirates. For older children, the large skate park in the Sportwall has mini ramps, half pipes, quarter pipes and ramps for skateboarders and BMX riders. A day ticket for adults is 1,50€, children under 18 are free. Check out the vast range of options: Events at Volkspark Potsdam
