Revolution in Berlin's playgrounds: Treptow-Köpenick is planning great changes!

Berlin is often a challenge for children: limited rooms, lots of traffic and hardly any opportunities to play in nature. In this context, playgrounds are of great importance for the little ones. The "large playground" in the Kosmosviertel, Treptow-Köpenick, will be closed for one year from April 21, 2025 to enable extensive renovation work. This redesign is part of an Initiative of the district that aims to improve the quality of life and living in the Kosmosviertel, as

The plans include a number of exciting innovations. Among other things, a water feature area is integrated, which will be equipped with two water pumps, three watercourses, build -up areas with a puller and a water wheel. In addition, a "tangible pond" is planned that will create relaxation areas. Old play equipment, such as the climbing frame, is supplemented by a new game landscape, which contains a turntable and a climbing spider. The existing materials are largely reused, and it remains to be taken care of that trees and existing structures, such as the island of the Felsenbirnen, remain.

In addition to the redesign in the Kosmosviertel, the renovation of a children's playground near Lohmühlenstrasse on Görlitz's railway embankment in Alt-Treptow also runs. This work started on February 19, 2025. The current playing area of ​​around 150 square meters is to be widened to a total of 1,300 square meters, which creates space for new play equipment and activities, informs berlin.de . In this project,

also deals with the needs of children and parents who brought ideas and suggestions in the previous year. The existing large wave slide is preserved, while ups and exits with palisades and wood chips are improved. In addition, new playful elements such as a balancing route, a sloping ramp and an additional slide are integrated. A Calisthenics facility is planned for modern training in the urban area. A climbing pyramid and a balance of balance on the lawn round off the offer.

sustainability and accessibility

An important aspect of the redesign is the barrier -free design of the paths to ensure better accessibility. The materials used are mostly sustainable: natural stone paving, robinia wood and recycled granite borders are used. In addition, 15 new trees are planted to improve the microclimate and donate shadows. In addition, a planting with bee and bird-friendly trees is carried out. Rainwater will seep away on site, which benefits both the environment and the playground.

The completion of the work at this playground is planned for the end of 2025 or early 2026, but there is still a precise date. The conversion is financed by the working group "Security, Cleanliness and Prevention".
