The Olympiapark (English: Olympic Park) in Munich, Germany, is an Olympic Park which was constructed for the 1972 Summer Olympics.[1] Located in the Oberwiesenfeld neighborhood of Munich, the Park continues to serve as a venue for cultural, social, and religious events, such as events of worship. It includes a contemporary carillon. The Park is administered by Olympiapark München GmbH, a holding company fully owned by the state capital of Munich. The Olympic Park Munich was also considered to be an architectural marvel during the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany. The use of the term Olympiapark to designate the overall area has prevailed as a semiofficial practice, but no official name for the entire area exists. The general area comprises four separate sub-areas:[2] Olympic Area: Includes the Olympic sports facilities such as the Olympic Stadium and the Olympic Hall with Olympic Tower. Also in this area are the Aquatic Center and Olympic Event Hall. Olympic Village, comprising two villages, one for male and one for female athletes. Olympia-Pressestadt, today the home of the Olympia Shopping Center. Strictly speaking, this portion belongs to the area of the Moosach district. Olympic Park, adjoining the Olympic Area to the south, it includes the Olympic Hill and Olympic Lake. The park is located in the Milbertshofen-Am Hart borough near BMW Group headquarters and the "Uptown" skyscraper of O2. Georg-Bräuchle-Ring divides the area into two halves: Olympic Village and Olympia Pressestadt to the north and Olympic Area and Olympic Park to the south.[2] After the International Olympic Committee awarded Munich the Olympic Games in 1966, plans were solidified for the urban redevelopment of the Oberwiesenfeld area. The old airfield, intensely used up until 1939, lost its importance once the Munich-Riem airport was opened that year and expanded during the next three decades. As a result, Oberwiesenfeld airfield remained largely idle. Detail of the tensile membrane roof

Best park in Munich. I dare say it’s even better than the Englischer Garten. It’s a beautiful place with a unique architecture, lots of activities and open spaces, and a Biergarten where you can relax. I especially recommend it in the summer for running or going on outdoor walks. The fact that the park is so large gives you a real feeling of peace while enjoying time surrounded by nature and greenery. Highly recommend!

The Olympiapark München remains one of the most iconic landmarks in Germany, originally designed for the 1972 Summer Olympics. Its most striking feature is the revolutionary tent-like roof construction, a vast canopy of acrylic glass and steel cables that mimics the undulating silhouettes of the nearby Alps. From the summit of the Olympiaberg, the park unfolds into a harmonious landscape of rolling green hills, shimmering lakes, and winding pathways, all framed by the towering 290-meter Olympiaturm. This architectural marvel successfully integrated high-tech engineering with the natural environment, creating a space that feels both futuristic and organic. Beyond its physical beauty, the park serves as a profound symbol of the "Cheerful Games" and Munich’s post-war transformation. It is a place where history and leisure coexist; where the echoes of athletic glory meet the quiet footsteps of families strolling through the grass. To visit Olympiapark is to experience the enduring spirit of a city that transformed a site of tragedy and rubble into a global beacon of peace, openness, and community. It stands as a living testament to humanity's ability to build beauty out of the past for the joy of the future.

Very nice being here. The park is large, suitable for some exercises (eg, running, walking, cycling). There is an area with history of the Olympic in 1970s. There are many cherry blossom, a small lake, and a hill where we can see the city. It is also near BMW headquarter.
