There is a slide for older children and a separate area for younger children.

In summer, there are outdoor pools and a green area where you can soak up the sun. In short, there's entertainment for all ages and the pool is sure to be a hit with the youngest.

Delmenhorst is a very green city and therefore there is also a focus on enjoying the beautiful nature. In the summer you can hire pedalos and small boats to cruise the town's many waterways.
