Congratulations, Wiesbaden!
The capital of Hesse, located in the heart of Germany, continues to invest in active, community-focused spaces. Several modular pumptracks already exist in the region - such as those near the Schlachthof by the main train station, in Neu-Isenburg, and in Delkenheim. This latest project, however, brings something completely new.
This exciting project is completely new in the area, located on the section of Wörter-See-Strasse between Ludwig-Beck-Schule, Kallebad and the kindergarten. Designed for all age groups and demographics, the space combines multiple elements in one cohesive area:
Cross-generational swings for children AND parents, see-saws, low-threshold balancing courses, a climbing rock and: A concrete practice track with an extra wide riding surface. This can be used with inline skates, bicycles, balance bikes, and wheelchairs too.
A place that has it all
What was once an underused space has been transformed into a welcoming meeting point where every detail has been considered. Newly planted shrubs, perennials and trees provide shade in the summer, a flower meadow increases biodiversity, and self-made chill chairs, benches and picnic tables invite you to linger.
Playground or pumptrack? Why not both?
This isn’t an either/or decision - the combination is what makes the difference. Climbing, swinging, balancing and rolling, gliding, and pumping - all in one space. A complete play and movement experience.
60% Financing through subsidies
The “Social Cohesion Gräselberg” program financed more than half of the redesign, the rest was made possible by the budget of the Parks Department.
A gathering place for all
More than just a place to pass through, this space invites people to stay, connect, and enjoy their local area.
Goodbye parent taxi!
With such an inviting and safe environment, walking, cycling, or scooting becomes the obvious choice. The practice track is an ideal introduction to pumptrack riding and has a strong pull across all generations - whether on wheels or on foot.
A playground that does it all!
FUN WAY TO SCHOOL
Which route would you choose: over the waves or next to them? Whether you are using roller sports equipment or not, the magnetic effect of the pumptrack is obvious. And so the way to school or kindergarten becomes a safe little adventure.
TRAFFIC CALMING AREA
Cars? No thanks! This traffic-calmed area is only intended for children to play in - maximum safety and maximum fun are the top priority!
An engaging play environment
A place to swing, ride, laugh, and explore.
Children develop skills, build confidence, and form lasting friendships through active play.
The perfect location
Positioned between a school, kindergarten, and indoor swimming pool, this standout project couldn’t be better placed. Football goals on the school field are a thing of the past; Traditional, single-use spaces are being replaced by creative, multi-functional environments that appeal to all ages.
