Volcanic landscape and sandpit
The 580 square meter playground is due to be completed by July 2025. The site is located on a steep slope. The city is using the natural height difference of around three meters in its planning: A volcanic landscape is to be created, recreated by a colorful plastic floor with painted craters and lava flows. A sandpit will be created down the slope. There is already a large tree here that will provide shade for the children.
City takes residents' wishes into account
The city takes the wishes of local residents into account during the renovation. In a participation campaign in 2022, the residents of Medinghoven contributed their ideas for the playground. The result: climbing ropes, climbing stones and nets as well as an inclusive play wall offer variety for exercise and play. Those not playing will find a variety of seating options on benches and greywacke paving stones.
The refurbishment cost around 185,000 euros.
