The play area was built between May and September 2015 . 80 percent of the costs came from the federal and state governments .
“ The topographical location of the play area was very challenging in the planning phase . Because of its position on the slope , there were only a few flat areas available . The one large level surface is now taken over by the playing field made from artificial turf . The large slope has a vertical distance of over 49 ' -3 ". This was to be used as an opportunity to install a special piece of play equipment . Initially there was already a wooden tower here with a slide that led down into the valley . But the new play equipment needed to offer more : interesting climbing options , stay value , an open net bridge with a possibility to look across the whole play area , and of course , the play equipment itself had to be a design feature . The new play equipment is a real hit and has been very well received by the children . Even at the official opening , well over thirty children were rushing about the equipment at the same time , wanting to climb and slide ,” explains Ricken enthusiastically .
Marcus Vellmanns , employee at Berliner at that time , says : “ Originally , the old slide was going to be reused . Joining it to our new equipment wouldn ’ t have been a problem . Our colleagues from the technology department have individual solutions for every play area . Unfortunately , however , the TÜV did not approve this . The slide itself no longer complied with today ’ s standards .” New slope and guard rails had to be fitted . Now , instead of connecting steps , there is a ramp in place . This means the nearby cycle and footpaths are easily accessible to both pedestrians with buggies and to cyclists – without steps . Landscape architect Ricken explains : “ The play equipment is even visible from far away , inviting children to climb and speed down the slide into the valley . The children from the neighboring school also really enjoy spending their break times in the play area again now .”
