New play equipment and fitness zone: playground in Berlin is modernized!

In an exciting step to improve leisure activities for the residents in the Köllnian suburb, a new play equipment will soon be installed on the children's playground on Ottomar-Geschke-Strasse. The old playground, which already housed the climbing combination "Vulkan", now receives an exciting "Iglu", which is designed for children for climbing, balancing and hanging. The installation of this new attraction, which is planned for October and November 2024, should not only increase the play value, but also promote the physical development and balance of children.

While the construction work for the IGLU takes place, the majority of the playground remains available. Only the sand surface on which the new play equipment is installed is temporarily not usable. After installing the Iglus, the area below will have to harden for about two weeks before the little adventurers can enjoy the new fun.

Advanced fitness opportunities for all age groups

But there is not only news for the children. The youngsters and adults in the area can also look forward to new fitness opportunities on the dragon meadow. A modern Calisthenics system is being built here, which consists of various equipment elements such as poles and benches. Calisthenics is a popular form of training that is ideal for outdoor training and is designed for both beginners and advanced.

The construction of the fitness equipment is expected to begin in the week from September 30, 2024. Here, too, access to other areas of the meadow remains largely undisturbed, since only the area in question is blocked by construction fences. The safety of the users is top priority: a special fall protection area is created to cushion any falls.

The Calisthenics system and the fitness equipment, depending on the weather, will probably be completed in early December 2024. These new institutions will not only help promote physical activity, but also to strengthen the community by creating a place for different age groups where they can be active together.
