Sport in the park: Remscheid starts in active summer!

In Remscheid, the Sportbund is happy about a sporty summer with the event "Sport im Park", which will take place from July 12th to August 30, 2025. The fourth implementation of this popular series is supported by the Bergische Krankenkasse and the city of Remscheid. The aim is to motivate citizens to move and at the same time to promote social contact by offering sporting activities outdoors. Waterbölles reported by numerous new offers that are to be implemented this year.

particularly highlighting is the introduction of walking meetings that are under the motto "Why go alone, even if I can go together". This initiative aims to combine community and movement. In addition, the most active company in Remscheid will be sought for the first time this season. The company, which motivates most employees to participate, is rewarded with a health day, sponsored by the Bergische Krankenkasse.

diverse program and final event

The final event of "Sport im Park" takes place on August 30 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the sports facility on Hackenberg. There, the participants can expect a colorful offer, including a “sports badge day”. The sports clubs in the region are asked to report their specific programs to the Sportbund in order to offer the participants a variety of options.

interested companies who want to take part in the competition for the most active company can contact Michael Strohmaier by email. The Sportbund also started the search for "sponsors" for the walking meetings to further expand the concept and motivate as many people as possible to participate.

integration and environmental awareness

Another exciting aspect of "Sport in the Park" is supplemented by cooperation with the "Sportout" project, which not only promotes the fun of exercise outdoors, but also sharpens awareness of health, nature and environmental protection. The project is aimed at all generations and nationalities, regardless of the sporting background of the participants. This includes regular activities such as "orchard yoga" and "Naturathlons" as well as community events such as hikes to hidden places, bike rides and dance festivals. dosb emphasizes that environmental and nature protection issues are also actively treated on the project days.

partners of the project are various players from sport, politics, business, nature conservation and education, including important institutions such as the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences and the Athletics Association SSG Königswinter e. V. The use of forests, meadows and free landscapes to carry out the activities shows the integrative and environmentally conscious character that the initiatives in Remscheid follow.

Those responsible are optimistic that the sporting activities will also increase the motivation of the citizens to actively participate in their health awareness and to appreciate nature in their area. The combination of movement, community and environmental awareness could have a sustainable positive influence on the population.
