parks of Madrid - Parque de Berlín

This is a small park, near the German School, but twisting paths and tall trees make it seem bigger than it is.  Willy Brandt attended the opening of the park,  in 1967, and the monument to the fall of the Wall was added in 1990.
There are a number of plants and trees marked along the paths.
Several Berlin Wall slabs stand in a fountain.
The bear is around, although he's a little camouflaged in the trees.
Looks like they can have small concerts or performances, near the basketball courts.
Here's a thing I don't recognize.
It's fenced in, so it looks like you can toss balls down the alleyway.
There are actually two facing each other.
After whatever sport or performance or leisurely walk, you can have some refreshment.

Madrid parks are full of parrots these days.
Looking down from the back end.
The street is actually right behind the trees, but you can hardly tell.
