An urban exercise area for teenagers
The spacious outdoor area offers plenty of room for sports and leisure activities in a natural environment. The Nieuwegein city administration was keen to create free outdoor play and exercise opportunities here, especially for older children and young people.
What motivates young people to exercise?
In recent years, the city has invested in an attractive range of sports and play facilities. A multi-sport field, a basketball court, and a skate park have been built, all of which have been well received by young people.
More opportunities, more challenges
Adolescence is a time of great change for young people and those around them. In addition to physical changes, there is a growing urge for variety, freedom, and self-determination, and a willingness to take risks also increases. The tough trail fitness playground offers older children and young people in the park an even wider range of activities and completely new physical challenges that are specifically tailored to their needs and wishes, as well as their physical and mental stages of development.
What does the tough trail fitness playground in Galopperpark offer?
The tough trail in Galopperpark is a combination of play equipment featuring freerunning elements, obstacle courses, and ninja sports.The Bigwall play area is one of the largest tough trail facilities and combines elements from all of these action-packed trend sports.The complex layout of the facility, with over 30 obstacles, constantly challenges the kids and guarantees almost endless climbing fun. With body tension, coordination, balance, and concentration, young people train their bodies, strengthen their self-confidence, and learn to better assess risks.
Together with respect, tolerance and fair play
Many children and young people can train and play at the same time on the tough trail at Galopperpark. They come together here with their different abilities, interests, and ages between 10 and 17. Teenagers practice alone, in groups, or compete on the equipment. Overcoming obstacles together provides an opportunity to connect, motivate, and support each other. This strengthens social interaction. The tough trail is perfect for public or private events or even a particularly cool outdoor sports lesson.
