Tempelhof: Bosepark

The area around Bosepark is shaped by a landscaped green space and surrounding residential buildings in central Berlin. At Bosepark, the local character comes from the open landscape of paths, mature vegetation and spaces used for walking, play and informal recreation. The everyday rhythm of Bosepark is shaped by seasonal change, longer sightlines and a noticeably quieter rhythm than on nearby built-up streets. Bosepark lies in the borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg, about 6.3 km south of central Berlin. Bosepark merges gradually into Rathaus Tempelhof and Wittekindstraße; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Bosepark a recognisable local identity of its own. The character of Bosepark is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. This gives Bosepark a distinctive quality: the everyday value of a green space that is more than a visual backdrop.
