The Volkspark Potsdam is located in Bornstedter Feld in the north of the city of Potsdam . The area extends over three kilometers to the Jungfernsee in the north and in the west to the "Lennéschen Feldflur". In the south it borders on the ruins of the Sanssouci Park and the Nauener Vorstadt and in the east on the Pfingstberg . With an area of 65 hectares, the park comprises the sub-areas In den Wwall , Small and Large Wiesenpark , Remisenpark and Waldpark (Schragen) . The site managed by the Bornstedter Feld development agency is subject to entry (as of February 2019).
The Volkspark is the youngest garden in Potsdam. From the 18th century the area was used for military purposes, mainly as a military training area. It was not until 2001 that the Bornstedter Feld was redesigned as the main area for the 2001 Federal Horticultural Show . It is thus a modern garden of the 21st century and a public park with leisure activities such as disc golf (with a 15 basket course), jogging , inline skating , cycling and playing football . One of the main attractions is the large tropical hall of the Potsdam Biosphere . The building houses around 20,000 tropical plants and small animals on several levels.
