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 35000 square meter site fell into disrepair.[1][2] In 2016, the buildings on the site were severely damaged by fire.[3] The site is planned to be redeveloped.[2]

Its street address is Buschkrugallee 64, 12359 Berlin, near the Teltow Canal.
