Including the playing area for all generations inaugurated - financing through state funding

- Three different swing systems with barrier -free access
- Generous climbing complex with 6 meters high tower, bridges and ropes
- Two slides differently high
- 20 meter long double lane
- 110 meters of barrier -free paths with control systems
- Numerous wheelchair -accessible seats
- Open pavilion for encounter and cross -generational exchange
Participation of schools and citizens
The entire planning process was participatory and inclusive . Disabled associations, schools and urban institutions brought valuable impulses in the early planning phase . The feedback from a public workshop flowed directly into the final plank concept.
Anna Freud School was particularly committed , which brought his own ideas as part of a social space exploration. City of the Future ” project of the Albrecht-Dürer School also provided suggestions-such as the construction of the pavilion as a meeting point for young and old.
Outlook: Third construction phase in planning
