Project description:

More green, more exercise, more places to stay. 

This is what the people of Hamburg in the Eimsbüttel district at Moorkamp have been hoping for for a long time and that is why the Modular Pump Track was placed in this unusual place under the bridge for several weeks in the summer on a trial basis. 

There is not much going on in the area otherwise, which is why the residents want to improve the quality of life with the pump track. The offer is aimed at children and young people. There are many families in the area, but also many schools. Of course, adults can also conquer the track with BMX, scooters and skateboards.

"It is difficult to create a cosy park under the elevated railway bridge - it doesn't work. That's why we said that perhaps the area would be good for exercise opportunities for children and young people. That's why we looked into making this offer available. Other towns and communities in Lower Saxony and Schleswig Holstein have done the same thing and have had very good experiences with the Modular Pumptrack."

THE FINANCING

• If a permanent solution is found, financial resources of over 160,000€ will be provided by the environmental agency “Hamburg Stadtgrün”.

EXERCISE FOR ALL AGES

There aren't many opportunities for exercise, especially for young people. The pump track is intended to change that.

HAPPY ENDING?! THE RESIDENTS DECIDE

• During the trial, residents have the opportunity to send feedback. After the evaluation, a decision will be made as to whether the Modular Pump Track may remain permanently.

Show us your unusual open space, under the bridge, on the roof of a high-rise building, in the schoolyard or next to the old football pitch. We are also revitalizing this unused area – and you write Success story like in Hamburg.
