Children's athletics competition on August 31st as part of the opening ceremony
sports park on Sunday, August 31, 2025. The inauguration will take place as part of the 3rd Children's Athletics Competition of the Groß-Gerau district. Mayor Marc Friedrich (independent) emphasizes the importance of modern sports facilities: "Motivated children and young people in club sports are the foundation for success in elite sports. That's why we consciously decided to make this investment."
The new sports park offers a wide range of competition and training opportunities for track and field, soccer, and American football. These include, among others:
- four circular arc tracks (400 m)
- six sprint and hurdle lanes (110 m)
- Facilities for high jump, long jump and triple jump, discus, javelin throw and shot put
- Player changing rooms, spectator surrounds and storage areas for mobile goals
Existing facilities such as the main pitch and the grandstand were integrated into the design. The complex also includes several grass and artificial turf pitches, as well as a curling rink.
The construction work was carried out by Heiler GmbH & Co. KG. "This investment is a major undertaking for our community, but an important contribution to health, sports, and social cohesion," said Mayor Friedrich.
The official opening will take place during a break in the children's athletics competition. "The sports park is used by all generations, but especially intensively by children and young people," explains Manfred Gescheidle, the municipality's sports coordinator.
With this modern facility, Nauheim is not only creating new training opportunities, but also a social meeting place. "The sports park is a space for exercise and socializing that brings people together and motivates them to be active beyond the borders of Nauheim," Friedrich summarizes.
