A city devastated by climate change

The city of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler has experienced the devastating consequences of climate change. In 2021, parts of the city were flooded by the nearby river, ruining public spaces and residents' houses.

Acknowledging the importance of choosing more eco-friendly public amenities after this disaster, the city council decided that the new playground should have a greener profile. They chose a low-carbon GreenLine playground made from waste materials like textile, plastic bags and fishing nets.

It is nice that we have created something that is fun for the children, and has a low carbon emission impact.

Guido Orthen, Mayor of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler

An educating playground

Besides teaching fundamental life skills through play, this GreenLine playground also educates children on the environment. GreenLine playgrounds are low on carbon emissions thanks to its recycling on post-consumer waste.
