More green, more exercise, more places to stay.
This is what the people of Hamburg in the Eimsbüttel district at Moorkamp have been wanting for a long time and so the Modular Pumptrack was quickly placed in this unusual place under the bridge for several weeks in the summer on a trial basis.
There is not much else going on in the area, which is why the residents want to improve the quality of life with the pump track. The offer is aimed at children and young people. There are many families in the area, but also many schools. Of course, adults can also conquer the track with BMX, scooters and skateboards.
The financing?
If a permanent solution is found, financial resources of over 160,000€ will be provided by the environmental agency “Hamburg Stadtgrün”.
Exercise for ALL ages
There aren't many opportunities for exercise, especially for young people. The pump track is intended to change that.
noa – Neighbours on Air – The neighbourhood magazine from Hamburg in an interview with Kai Becker, press spokesman for the Eimsbüttel district office in Hamburg
"It is difficult to create a cosy park under the elevated railway bridge - it doesn't work. That's why we said that perhaps the area would be good for exercise opportunities for children and young people. That's why we looked into making this offer available. Other towns and communities in Lower Saxony and Schleswig Holstein have done the same thing and have had very good experiences with the Modular Pumptrack."
"Dead place comes alive"
…and the children are thrilled. We couldn’t describe it better, read about it in the Eimsbütteler Nachrichten
Happy ending?! The residents decide...
During the trial, residents have the opportunity to send feedback. After the evaluation, a decision will be made as to whether the modular pump track can remain permanently.
Our conclusion?
In our opinion, an unused area could not be revitalized better!
