Would the park area around Str des 17 Juni be a good area for running? I'd prefer to get off of main roads (certainly I may need to start on them), and I really like trails. Are there such areas along the river?

I'll be staying at the Hilton, but could certainly take the U/S-bahn to workout. Anyone have ideas to help? Any locals want to run with me?

Thanks!
