The play equipment was designed following a competition on the theme of "Theatre World - Children's Play Stage" and the playground was divided into two play areas (North and South):
The north play area with the theme "On stage" is intended for children aged 3 to 12 years. Play elements include a spotlight that can be climbed on, a play footbridge, balancing tracks, slide tower, double swing, double bar and wobble plate.
The south play area for the age group 0 to 5 years with the theme "Wardrobe" offers a sand area with play equipment reminiscent of a stage dressing room. The elements included offer opportunities for climbing, sliding and exploring within the sand play area.
The northern play area for children aged 3 to 12 was opened at the beginning of February. Work on the southern area was completed at the beginning of March. The path surface has been stabilised so that the toddler area can now also be used.
The playground was closed at the beginning of March 2025 and extensively renovated. There were considerable delays during construction due to delivery problems on the part of the playground equipment manufacturer. Due to late deliveries and improper workmanship, the construction process was hindered to such an extent that the landscaping work could not be carried out at first.
The construction costs totalled approx. 285,000 euros. The landscaping work was carried out by the construction company Fachcenter Garten from Hauptmannsgrün.
