• Swimming ends at 7pm, while the beach and food stands stay open into the evening (last entry 9pm)
• From September, fine days only: the beach opens only in good weather, so check its Google hours before you go
• No dogs, no grills: picnics are fine, and swim aids and water toys are allowed

Strandbad Plötzensee is a privately run lake beach on the Plötzensee in Wedding. Sand slopes into the water, a long wooden jetty is the spot for jumping in, and there's a water slide. On land, kids get a playground with a big rope climbing frame, a bouncy castle, volleyball courts and table tennis. A lake café, beach restaurant and pizzeria cover lunch, and lifeguards watch the water.
