Tilla Durieux Park ( German: Tilla Durieux-Park ) is a public garden in the Tiergarten district of Berlin near Potsdamer Platz . It has a total area of ​​25 thousand m² and is named after an Austrian theater actress. The park, which opened on June 21, 2003 , is a lawn in the form of a strip with a length of 485 and a width of 50 m, leading from Potsdamer Platz to the Landver Canal . Two sloping lawns of the park are framed along the side linden alleys. A swing is installed in the center of the park. Under the Tilla Durie park, there is a railway tunnel from north to south for long-distance trains, and its ventilation shaft is located in the northern part of the park.

The design of Tilla Durieu Park, which earned the playful nickname “Giant Lawn Pillow”, was designed by Dutch landscape architects from the DS Landschapsarchitecten bureau in Amsterdam , who won the 1995 competition “Two Parks on Potsdamer Platz”. The second park created by this project was the park of Henrietta Hertz . The cost of arranging the Tilla Durie park amounted to 2.25 million euros.
