Exercise for everyone: Free sport in the park revitalizes Spandau!
In Spandau, the “Sport in the Park” program has developed into an integral part of leisure activities. From May to October 2025, all Spandau residents, regardless of their previous sporting knowledge, can take part in this unique exercise offer. Participation is completely free of charge, takes place close to home and without prior registration, which offers low-threshold access. The main goal of the program is to motivate the population to exercise more in the community and has been the largest free public exercise offer in Berlin since it was launched in 2018.
The program, funded by the Senate Department of the Interior and Sport, includes gentle training, playful exercise and sporting challenges that are suitable for all ages and generations. The program's partners are TSV Spandau 1860 e.V., Sportkindern Berlin e.V., the Berliner Deaf Sports Club e.V. and the City Movement e.V. This broad popularity of supporters shows how important it is to promote the movement in the city.
Diverse offerings in nature
The events take place in several beautiful locations, including Krienicke Park, Südpark, Münsinger Park and Spandauer Forest. This not only provides a pleasant environment for sporting activities, but also promotes a connection to nature. The offers are designed to be of interest to all age groups. Those interested can find out more in digital flyers, which are sorted by district, and on the website gesufit-berlin.de available for download.
“Sport in the Park” is part of the overarching health policy objective “Growing up, living and growing older in Spandau” and has been integrating the “Spandau is moving!” strategy since 2018. This comprehensive program not only promotes individual health, but also the community through regular exercise.
Integration into the Berlin movement network
In addition to the offers in Spandau, there is the “Berlin moves” initiative throughout Berlin, which provides a variety of free sports and exercise activities. These activities are intended to encourage the population to move more in everyday life. This includes sports such as basketball, yoga, martial arts, walking and fitness classes. All events are also free and do not require registration. Information about the activities can be found in the “Berlin moves” calendar or map. The goal here is not only to promote physical health, but also to create structures that promote movement and environments that are conducive to life.
The cooperation between various Senate administrations and the twelve Berlin districts underlines the importance of such a program for improving the quality of life in the city. Promoting exercise is a crucial factor in preventing diseases such as high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes and depression.
Overall, the “Sport in the Park” program not only shows how much potential there is in community sports activities, but also how important it is to continually promote exercise and health in everyday life. It remains exciting to see how the offerings will develop in the future.
