Description: This immense park/recreation center was built for the 1972 Olympics. An overpass takes you from the subway station to the park entrance. Admission is free - although several of the venues like the pool and the stadium charge entrance fees. The architecture has a free-flowing look with vaulted spans and lots of curves. Two small lakes invite bikers and joggers to get on the fitness trail. A manmade hill with hairpin curves challenged skateboarders and rollerbladers. And the day we were there, a slalom rollerblade competition was being held near the indoor skate park. We paid the 3.00 Euro admission and went to the top of the tower - what a view of Munich. There at our feet lay the BMW headquarters and museum as well as all of Munich.
I would recommend spending a whole day here - bring a picnic lunch and bring your suit so you can swim in the Olympic sized pool where Mark Spitz won five gold medals. Bring your roller blades if you have them. Just plan to stroll and swim and enjoy the whole park.
