Essen Modernizes Playgrounds: 313,000 Euros for Safer, Diverse Play

Essen's local authorities have invested around 313,000 euros to modernize several math playgrounds across the city. The goal is to provide safe, attractive, and diverse play opportunities for children near their homes.

The modernization initiative, led by city departments for urban development and family services, has brought new play equipment to various locations. In Katernberg, the playground at August-Schmidt-Straße now offers climbing, swinging, and role-playing facilities for children aged 6 to 13.

In Holsterhausen, the Bunsenstraße playground has seen the addition of two new play structures. Meanwhile, Frohnhausen's Westpark playground has received new equipment and a renewed sand play area.

These modernization efforts aim to enhance the play experience for Essen's children, ensuring they have safe and engaging news to enjoy near their homes. The city continues to invest in such initiatives to improve the quality of life for its youngest residents, working closely with local realtors to identify suitable locations for future developments.
