Der Schlosspark Charlottenburg ist der älteste erhaltene Park in Berlin und Potsdam. 1697 im Zusammenhang mit dem Bau des Lustschlosses angelegt, war er sogar der erste Barockgarten nach französischem Muster in Deutschland.

Der vordere Teil der Anlage zeigt noch die barocke Struktur, die geometrisch auf das Schloss als Zentrum der Anlage ausgerichtet ist. Der hintere Teil zeigt einen Landschaftspark des 19. Jahrhunderts, der ganz natürlich gewachsen wirkt.
Im Park liegen das Mausoleum der Königin Luise, in dem auch Kaiser Wilhelm I. seine letzte Ruhe fand, und der kleine Rokokopavillon Belvedere mit einer Porzellansammlung. Im hinteren Teil findet man große Spiel- und Liegewiesen, Teiche und Wassergräben, einen schönen Spielplatz und eine Rodelbahn.
Nach Osten hin wird der Park von der Spree begrenzt, an deren Südufer ein Weg bis zum Landwehrkanal und an diesem weiter bis zum Tiergarten führt.

Charlottenburg Palace (German: Schloss Charlottenburg) is the largest palace in Berlin, and the only surviving royal residence in the city dating back to the time of the Hohenzollern family. It is located in the Charlottenburg district of the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough.
The palace was built at the end of the 17th century and was greatly expanded during the 18th century. It includes much exotic internal decoration in baroque and rococo styles.
A large formal garden surrounded by woodland was added behind the palace, including a belvedere, a mausoleum, a theatre and a pavilion. During the Second World War, the palace was badly damaged but has since been reconstructed. The palace with its gardens are a major tourist attraction.
The garden was designed in 1697 in baroque style by Simeon Godeau who had been influenced by André Le Nôtre, designer of the gardens at Versailles. Godeau's design consisted of geometric patterns, with avenues and moats, which separated the garden from its natural surroundings. Beyond the formal gardens was the Carp Pond. Towards the end of the 18th century, a less formal, more natural-looking garden design became fashionable. In 1787 the Royal Gardener Georg Steiner redesigned the garden in the English landscape style for Friedrich Wilhelm II, the work being directed by Peter Joseph Lenné. After the Second World War, the centre of the garden was restored to its previous baroque style.
