Inclusive movement park opened in Alsfeld: sport for all ages!

Alsfeld, Deutschland - in Alsfeld, a new movement park has opened its gates today, which should not only encourage sporting activity, but also sets a sign of inclusion and participation. On the edge of the picturesque Goethepark is the second inclusive movement park in the Vogelsberg district, the aim of which is to offer people of all generations and skills the opportunity to move. As Oberhessen-Live.de , the park was inaugurated with an official opening, where Ann Kathrin Linsenhoff, the sports officer of the state, and district administrator, and district administrator, and district administrator, among other things Jens Mischak took part.

The project is the result of a strong community initiative and was supported by funding from the state of Hesse. In addition, the city of Alsfeld and local partners such as the Vogelsberg sports district, the Harald-and-Katharina-von-Manteuffel Foundation as well as banks and the Hessian Ministry of Family, Seniors, Sport, Health and Care have contributed to financing. A total of around 59,500 euros flowed into the new movement park, which is equipped with eight sports equipment and numerous seating and staying options.

a place for everyone

The initiators of the park underline that the focus is on participation of people with disabilities. This is particularly important because many of these people have not found enough opportunities in the past to enjoy sporting activities. Access to sports and movement offers is often severely restricted in the institutions of the disabled help. Reasons for this are, for example, long ways, the need for accompaniment or inadequate financial resources, such as hl-stiftung.de .

There is a real vicious cycle: People with disabilities often do not find access to sports clubs, and conversely, people without disabilities have little opportunities to train in inclusive groups. This is exactly where funding projects such as "sporting activation for everyone" come in to create barrier -free sports offers and to promote social integration.

joint activities

dr. Jens Mischak, the district administrator, demonstrated the official opening by performing a stretching exercise, making it clear what the new movement park had to offer. A place that not only promotes movement, but also enables social contacts and encounters between different generations and skills.

With this initiative, an urgently needed space is created in which all people can be active and have fun regardless of their skills. The movement park in Alsfeld is a positive step in the right direction and shows how important local projects are, promote inclusion and community.
