Playground on the Schloßteichinsel is nearing completion
Currently still remaining work - opening for Children's Day on 1 June
The public playground on the Schloßteichinsel is nearing completion: the play and leisure area has been redesigned for children aged 3 to 12 years with facilities for exercise, play, interaction and rest. Remaining landscaping work will be carried out until 28 April, i.e. top layers will be applied to the existing pathways and vegetation areas will be adapted.
The new play equipment combinations installed at the beginning of October 2022 will then be painted. Before the playground can be used, a resting phase is still required so that the new path surface gains its regular stability and also to give the newly sown grass areas time to develop. For this reason, the playground area will remain secured with a construction fence until 30 May. The opening is planned for Children's Day on 1 June.
The playground is part of the listed Chemnitz castle pond complex.
The play and leisure facility is divided into three play areas, which are connected by unpaved paths (with a water-bound surface). The previously paved areas around the play areas were restored with the so-called Ostrava path surface.
The existing play areas were edged with curved lines of granite paving.
Ecocolour woodchippings were used as fall protection. Some of the existing equipment, such as benches, litter bins and wooden railings, was retained or newly built and erected. The original shape of the playground has not changed.
