The Volkspark Hasenheide is a park of around fifty hectares in the Berlin quarter of Neukölln on the border with Kreuzberg.

It towers around the surrounding area, reaching a height of 68 metres (223 ft) above sea level.
The shooting range was removed and the area was landscaped according to the plans of Neukölln gardening authority, Kurt Pöthig.
