Hasepark in Osnabrück, Germany gets its name from the adjacent waters “Klöckner-Hase” also called just “Hase”. It runs south of the city park and separates the living area in the North from the industrial space south of the river. The green area, known as a social flashpoint in the past, was supposed to be reconstructed as a recreational area for young and old in 2019. A playground, covering about 15.000 m2, was constructed. The goal was to make it a destination for families taking a day trip across the city as well as cover the needs of inhabitants living in closer districts. The theme of inclusion was of special importance to the new playground. There was also a Parkour and Calisthenics structure planned for physically active teenagers and adults. To minimize potential conflict between the playing children and crossing cyclists or pedestrians, the routing of the park as well as the shoreline were optimized.

A concept for the playground could be developed, which was officially approved by the city in September 2020.

In 2007, construction work began on the “Waldwipfelweg” project, a forest treetop path, in the Bavarian town of Sankt Englmar, near the Czech border. Martin Six, the operator of the Lower Bavarian family attraction, had originally inherited the area and was thinking of what he could do with the farmland. He soon came up with the idea of developing the close-to-nature and tree-rich surroundings into a Forest Treetop Path, which celebrated its opening in 2008. “Due to its south-facing slope, the property is ideally suited for such an idea,” says Martin Six. “With good visibility, you even have an unobstructed view of the montain Zugspitze, which is about 220 kilometres away as the crow flies.”
