The second terrace features a colorful oak climbing structure with a double swing, a slide, and a sand play area. The central lawn is divided into two sections by walls, making it suitable for ball games as well. Along Bürgistraße, a welcoming paved entrance area with seating walls and benches invites visitors to linger.
Dogs are allowed on a leash outside the playground area.
