Just in time for the Hessian summer holidays, the Carree shopping center in Darmstadt's city center will once again be transformed into a large water playground for children. From July 11 to August 8, 2026, the Darmstadt water playground invites children to play, explore, and cool off daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Water fun right in the city center. Water basins, channels, pumps, and buckets are available in the plaza in front of the Central Station. Children up to about ten years old can pump and divert water or launch their own boats. The event offers families a free leisure activity in the heart of the city during the first weeks of the summer holidays. The surrounding outdoor dining options and additional seating complement the offering. A summer holiday activity for families: \"With this multi-week water playground, we want to create a targeted activity for families again during the summer months,\" explains City Marketing Chairman Moritz Koch. The water playground is presented by Volksbank Kinderzeit, a subsidiary of Volksbank Darmstadt Mainz. \"We are happy to support the water playground as an attractive destination for families,\" says Stefan Kr\u00fcger, Head of Social Engagement at Volksbank Darmstadt Mainz. A proven concept for children: The mobile water playground was originally developed by a company from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The concept has been successfully used for many years at daycare centers and events. The system is T\u00dcV-certified and design-protected. The Darmstadt water playground is organized by Darmstadt Citymarketing. The project is supported by Volksbank Darmstadt Mainz, Wissenschaftsstadt Darmstadt Marketing GmbH, the Carree business association, and the family magazine FRATZ as media partner.
