Sindelfingen, Urban Sports Park

Adjacent to Sindelfingen’s Glaspalast, a 7,800 m² urban sports park is being built, combining a variety of exercise areas with high-quality landscaping. As a modern, freely accessible sports and leisure facility, the complex combines a skate park, pump track, bowl, multi-court, parkour and calisthenics areas to create a holistic exercise ensemble with a high quality of stay and a clear design concept.

The design of the park subtly references the Glaspalast in its design language: shard-like geometries and broken lines characterize both the pathways and the surface and equipment elements. This creates a distinctive appearance that harmonizes athletic functionality and creative independence.

The central element of the facility is the approximately 1,200 m² skate park, constructed using in-situ concrete. The low-threshold design and the interplay of street and pool areas create an inclusive exercise opportunity for all ages and skill levels. A multi-line concept enables fluid, intersecting lines of travel and ensures a high density of use. The skate area is complemented by a child-friendly asphalt pump track with an integrated bowl, which provides a playful introduction to roller sports.

The other sports modules—a multifunctional ball game area, a calisthenics zone, and an urban-style parkour area—fit into the overall concept thanks to their shared design language and materials. The athletic areas (parkour, calisthenics) were developed by DSGN Concpets. Spacious lounge areas, tree plantings, and sightlines between the sports areas create an open, safe, and inviting environment.

The project was developed in close collaboration with local users, whose perspectives were incorporated into the planning process through various participation formats. The result is a place that not only responds to current needs, but also provides sustainable answers to the question of urban mobility spaces—free, inclusive, and with a strong design identity.
