Blub (water park)
Blub, short for Berliner Luft- und Badeparadies ("Berlin air- and bathing paradise"), was a water park in the Britz area of Neukölln district in Berlin, Germany. First opened in 1985, it was shut down in 2002 following health concerns, and the 3.5-hectare (8.6-acre) site fell into disrepair.[1][2] In 2016, the buildings on the site were severely destroyed by fire.[3] The site is planned to be redeveloped.[2]
