A beautiful sports park in the Molukkenplantsoen in Groningen!
At the beginning of 2018, the Municipality of Groningen asked a number of parties to design a challenging outdoor fitness place for both young and old.
In addition to the possibility for outdoor fitness, boot camp and calisthenics, the place also had to be designed in such a way that athletes and residents from the neighborhood can meet here, support with fitness and hand out tips and tricks. In addition to the fitness equipment, a challenging running route had to be designed around the pond. The choice was determined, among other things, by creativity, challenge and vandal resistance.
This sports park is the first project where the OUR PLACE concept has been realized. Just as with this design concept, the ZETA method (Visibility, Uniformity, Accessibility and Attractiveness) has been used in the Molukkenplantsoen. This ensures that this place is safe, attractive and accessible to everyone.
We designed a running track in the shape of an figure eight, with fitness and climbing equipment for young and old inside and around it a hill with stairs that serve as a seating stand and an attractive place to hang out. This place was realized in September 2018 and everyone can play sports and meet each other to their heart’s content!
