Volkspark Wuhlheide (often simply Wuhlheide) is a large public forest park in south eastern Berlin, Germany. Laid out mainly between the 1920s and 1932 under garden director Ernst Harrich, it combines woodland and designed recreation areas. During the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) period its eastern section operated as the youth oriented Pionierpark Ernst Thälmann (1950 – 1990). Within the park are the children’s park railway, the leisure and education complex now known as FEZ Berlin (opened in 1979 as the Pionierpalast; operating as FEZ since 1990), and the listed open air amphitheatre Parkbühne Wuhlheide.
