  • four themed playgrounds, namely:
    • "swing-set paradise" (Schaukel-Paradies);
    • "ball-game arena" (Ballspiel-Arena), with a 3x3 streetball court, table-tennis tables, teqball tables, and a Sportbox for sports equipment rentals;

• a technical room housing the power-supply and technical equipment for the entire complex.

As the complex will be a "World Athletics – Construction Category 1"–certified facility, it will be able to host world-class events.

The free space is organised as a corridor system comprising a network of passageways that includes a service corridor and an adjacent running track (Finnenbahn), which together make up a fitness trail with several game and exercise stations along it.

Each station is designed around a specific theme with its own distinctive features, creating a coherent spatial layout that is easy to navigate. A peripheral tree-lined zone demarcates an opening onto activity areas featuring several game stations.

In all, more than 100 new trees will be planted. The highly vegetated landscape is intended to mirror the visual and environmental qualities of an urban forest, thereby enhancing the climatic resilience of the Hamm district.
