About
The Olympiapark in Munich, Germany, is an Olympic Park which was constructed for the 1972 Summer Olympics. Found in the area of Munich known as the "Oberwiesenfeld" ("upper meadow-field"), the Park continues to serve as a venue for cultural, social, and religious events such as events of worship. The Park is administered by Olympiapark München GmbH, a holding company fully owned by the state capital of Munich.

The Olympic Parc in Munich with its unique concentration and combination of various kinds of sports and event sites has become one of the most important event and leisure time attractions in the world.

History
After the International Olympic Committee in 1966 awarded Munich the Olympic Games, plans were solidified for the urban redevelopment of the Oberwiesenfeld area. From 1939 on, Oberwiesenfeld had largely been used as an airfield; however, the then-recently-opened Munich-Riem airport left the Oberwiesenfeld area largely idle.

Accessibility
For individual travelers, the Olympiapark is easily reachable via the Mittleren Ring. The Olympic Village itself is closed off from traffic.

Using public transportation, the Munich U-Bahn's Olympic line (U3) provides a direct route: From Münchner Freiheit (a plaza in the Munich district of Schwabing, located on Leopoldstraße), the line connects to Olympiapark via Schwabing and the midtown area.
