New game fun in Weil am Rhein: leisure facility for all generations!

In Weil am Rhein something happens: A new leisure facility in the Hohe Straße residential area should offer a versatile recreation room for young and old. Under the direction of Stephan Fischer and Dagmar Griese from the urban green planning, the design of this 6,600 square meter area is currently being planned. Black Forest Bode is reported that a close citizens' division is sought, To take into account the wishes of the residents and the little explorers as best as possible.

The creative minds behind the design, landscape architect Christian Burkhard and Vera Pham from the city and green planning department, rely on a design motto that combines diversity and promotion of movement. The area is divided into four areas: U3, nature experience, movement for everyone and a neighborhood spot. Weil am Rhein emphasizes that the connection of the different areas is carried out by stone and wood elements as well as cleverly executed terrain models.

Special highlights of the system are a pump track, water play equipment and a generation swing. In addition, a movement area with fitness opportunities for all age groups as well as retirement areas with trees and seating are intended. This creates an appealing space not only for young visitors, but also for parents and grandparents.

progress and feedback

The construction progress is positive: Work in the toddler area should be completed by the end of August 2025, while the other construction phases will follow from mid -September 2025. Mayor Martin Gruner has repeatedly emphasized the importance of the citizens' opinions. Residents bring both ideas and concerns, such as the safety of the children playing in the presence of cyclists, whereupon the planners evaluate possible structural measures.

Probably there will be a detailed design plan by summer 2024, followed by the start of construction in the first quarter of 2024 and the completion in late 2024 or early 2025. In addition, suggestions for setting up a toilet are recorded on the site in order to meet the needs of visitors.

Overall, the project shows the city's commitment to create an attractive leisure facility for the community. In order to maintain additional contact with those responsible, Vera Pham and Brigitte Lill are available for questions. The planned participation with neighborhood management will certainly attract some curious citizens. A place where not only can be played, but also promoted interdisciplinary cooperation - that is the vision that takes shape here.
