Moving together, playing, and experiencing nature outdoors

On November 14, 2026, the sports field will become an active family experience for parents and children aged 3 to 7 years. The free parent-child offering from the family support program in Gelsenkirchen focuses on shared time, children's laughter, and the joy of movement.

Jumping, running, playing: Movement makes strong

Children explore the sports field with their parents through diverse group activities and free playtimes. Jumping, running, and playing together strengthen physical development, confidence in one's own abilities, and a sense of community. The activities are designed for children and invite them to experience movement in a playful way without pressure to perform.

Parent-child action with learning fun

When small and large participants become active together, valuable learning experiences arise. Children practice age-appropriate coordination, balance, and independence. At the same time, families experience how much joy playing together outdoors brings. The free play phases create space for curiosity, personal ideas, and imaginative movement.

The offering takes place at the sports park at Glückaufkampfbahn. Even in dreary weather, time outdoors provides special sensory impressions: fresh air, wide movement areas, and the vibrant togetherness on the sports field. Families should plan for weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear.

Family-friendly and free of charge

The offering is specifically aimed at parents with children aged 3 to 7 years and is free of charge. The organizer is the Department of Children, Youth and Families of the City of Gelsenkirchen, Family Support and Family Education Team. Registration is required to participate.
