History of the Site

The concrete surface on which the halfpipe stands once served as a paddling pool. Today it is a place where young people and children can be watched going about their sporting activities.

Location and Surroundings

The facility sits directly alongside a path through the Stadtwald, so walkers pass by the halfpipe on their rounds. Benches along one side of the ramp offer the perfect spot to watch the action without having to join in yourself.
