Berkeley Park

Berkeley Park is a fictional location featured in the NBC television series Grimm. It appeared in the pilot episode of the show and was one of the key settings for that episode's storyline.

History
Berkeley Park is located in Portland, Oregon and is found near a college university. Student Sylvie Oster went jogging down Sweetbriar Trail near the school in the early morning hours. She passed a curious porcelain figurine and stopped to inspect it. Just then, a Wesen known as a Blutbad attacked her and devoured her body. The only thing left behind was her iPod, which was playing "Sweet Dreams" by The Eurythmics.

Detectives Nick Burkhardt and Hank Griffin inspected the crime scene and came upon the iPod. They also found tracks made by the killer indicating that he wore a size-11 work boot.

The killer was an unidentified postman who had already murdered several people near Munson Creek Falls. After devouring Sylvie Oster, he decided to prepare for his next meal. He abducted a young girl named Robin Howell and brought him back to his cabin where he intended on fattening her up. Robin's backpack was found in Berkeley Park. Portland Police Bureau captain Sean Renard instigated a city-wide manhunt and had his search teams canvassing the area around the park.
