"This airport turned public space is the largest park in continental Europe. Formed after the main airport closed in 2008, the park has a fascinating history: It was built by the Nazis, was the site of the Berlin Airlift in 1948–49, and, more recently, has partly become a temporary home for refugees. The rest of the vast, impressively flat space is used by cyclists, skateboarders, rollerbladers, joggers, and those looking to roam the former runway and connecting trails, enjoy the BBQ area, admire the local urban gardens, or just find a spot for some prolonged sunbathing." - MATADOR_NETWORK
