Sports in the park 20,000 participated in the open air fitness program
BONN · It was a big success - Bonners came out and got moving in all kinds of weather. Sports in the Park proved very popular.
Organizers of the program “Sport im Park - Bonn bewegt sich” (Sports in the Park - Bonn is moving) have reported a very positive result. In the five months of the program, 20,000 people participated, getting out there and moving no matter what kind of weather. That’s an average of about 50 persons at each session.
Bernd Seibert, head of the City Sports Association, said “It shows that we really hit the mark with this concept. Exercise in the fresh air with competent instructors, without the pressure of being obligated to attend every time, and even free of charge. This was apparently very appealing for Bonners.”
The City Sports Association had partners for the project. Stadtwerke Energie and Wasser (Municipal Energy and Water), the insurance firm Barmer GEK and the City of Bonn.
