The near-natural Königsheide Park is a mixed forest, mainly consisting of oaks and pines. Originally it was connected to the Köllnische Heide.

Königsheide serves as a popular local recreation area for the population of Treptow-Köpenick and Neukölln. However, the characteristic woodland and heath areas also represent an important natural habitat for rare plant species.

To the north is the imposing former GDR children's home Makarenko, which is now used as a residential building.
