Inclusive movement park in Alsfeld: a place for all generations!

In Alsfeld, a new inclusive movement park was officially opened, which should not only be a place of movement, but also in the coexistence for people of all generations and skills. The ceremonial opening took place on June 16, 2025 and was carried out by prominent guests such as Ann Kathrin Linsenhoff, the sports officer of the State of Hesse, District Administrator Dr. Jens Mischak, first member of the district Patrick Krug and Mayor Stephan Paule. This concentrated sports competence underlines how important the project is for the region. The park is located on the edge of the Goethepark and is the second inclusive movement park in Vogelsbergkreis, as [https://www.oberhessen-live.de/2025/06/ein-park-fuer-alle/) reports.

The goal of the new movement park is clear: it should enable people with various skills to move and actively participate in social life. "Participation is the focus of this project," emphasized Dr. Mischak in his speech and demonstrated the use of the new sports equipment with a stretching exercise.

put together together

The realization of the park is the result of community efforts. Around 24,500 euros were raised by various supporters, including the Harald-and-Katharina-von-Manteuffel Foundation and the VR-Bank Hessenland. The city of Alsfeld also did not allow itself to be ragged and invested around 35,000 euros in the park. The great support shows how important the topic of inclusion is taken in the region.

But why such parks are necessary at all shows a look at the current situation. Often people with disabilities in disabilities institutions only have limited access to sports and movement offers. The reasons for this are long ways, high requirements or a lack of financial resources. This leads to a "vicious circle" that makes it difficult to participate in sporting activities. Many people with disabilities do not find their way into sports clubs, while people without disabilities have no way of training in inclusive groups, as the Heinrich-Leszczynski Foundation shows in their project "Sporting activation for everyone" that aims to reduce these barriers.

a place for everyone

The new movement park offers comprehensive opportunities for sporting activities. With a total of eight sports equipment as well as seating and staying options, it is not only designed for active people, but also invites you to sociable meetings and relaxed hours. "We have proven a good hand for the design of this park, which is accessible to everyone," said a representative of the city of Alsfeld.

Thanks to the financial support and commitment of local partners, this movement park will not only be a place of sporting activity, but also a sign of social inclusion. It is to be hoped that many people make use of this offer so that the vision of a sport will be reality for everyone. Because ultimately it is about reducing barriers and promoting cooperation.
