The approximately 540 square meter Entenspill playground in Krähenriede is to be renovated in 2026: The members of the Kranichdamm School pupil council were just as pleased with the visit from the Youth and Democracy Education team and the Municipal Management Company (SRB) as the 24 pupils from the third and fourth grades. "That was a really great day. I really enjoyed it," the children agreed.
What ideas and wishes did the children have?
- Trampoline, playhouse
- slide, swing
- merry-go-round
Planning idea:
- The existing "Mobilus" play equipment is to be dismantled.
- Instead of the large sand area, there should be a new grass area with various play options.
- Reduction of the path areas for better use of the space
- Preservation of the existing planting
What is to be improved?
- The playground should be larger and have several active elements.
A new playground is planned for Finkenweg in Salzgitter-Bad in 2026. Around 40 children aged between four and twelve expressed their wishes at the HERTAtreff and the Dr. Klaus Schmidt Hauptschule. There was also an on-site inspection of the planned 350 square meter playground. The children were pleased that their ideas were taken on board, even if not everything could be implemented... "We particularly like the merry-go-rounds and trampolines." "It's a cool project. It's nice that we are consulted and that our wishes are taken into account."

What happens next?
The planned redesign and new construction measures will be discussed and decided in the respective political committees. Following the design and implementation planning, tenders are invited, contracts are awarded and then construction begins.
The redesign measures and the construction of the new playground are planned for 2026.
For both playgrounds, the children and the wider public will be regularly informed about the current and upcoming steps.
