On May 31st of 2013 the senator of urban development and environment Mr. Michael Müller opened the second half of Berlin's "Park am Gleisdreieck":http://europaconcorsi.com/projects/176624-Park-am-Gleisdreieck.
From the Landwehr Canal near Potsdamer Platz extending to the Yorck Bridges in the South, the ten hectares spanning western part of the Park am Gleisdreieck was built until spring 2013. With this the already finished Eastpark was supplemented and as of now offers Schöneberg's local residents a rambling park landscape with sport, playground and relaxation facilities. Over forty years the area around the former railroad triangle "Gleisdreieck" had been inaccessible and subjected to changing plans and utilization demands.
