Saarbrücker Straße

The playground closest to our home is the one on Saarbrücker Straße. Even though it’s a very nice playground we don’t really often go there, only on my way back from groceries and when a bit in a hurry we sometimes go here for a little while when I think they haven’t been out enough. It’s a playground like there are so many in Berlin, or at least in the Eastern part of Berlin, on an open space on the corner of two streets. I always assume that there used to be houses on these places that have been destroyed somewhere in the rural history of Berlin. These playgrounds are mostly stuck between two blind walls, which seems to always inspire street artist to decorate them with some graffiti. Sometimes really amazing, mostly just a whole bunch of tags and letters. The big disadvantage and reason why we don’t often visit this playground is that the sun shines here only for a short time a day. We’ll probably be here more again once winter starts and all the other playgrounds are just a block too far away.
