Good news for all sports and recreation enthusiasts: The first section of the skate park under the Schiersteiner Bridge has been completed and is now open. The park was temporarily open until the end of July/beginning of August.

During the reconstruction of the Schiersteiner Bridge, the area underneath was used for construction site logistics. Now that the bridge is complete, the area is being redesigned. The project is part of the Rhein.Main.Ufer concept and is being implemented jointly by the Parks and Recreation Department and the City Planning Department.

Under the Schiersteiner Bridge, the city of Wiesbaden is creating a new space for physical activity and recreation, and the skate park is the first step in this effort. The city made a deliberate decision to open the skate park on a temporary basis so that it could be used during the summer months and would not have to remain closed until all work was completed. In several workshops with the local skate community, requirements, ideas for use, and practical experiences were gathered. These have been incorporated into the park’s design.

Starting in August 2026, the area had to be closed again for further construction work. In the subsequent construction phases, the surrounding area will be further paved. The facility will then be expanded to include, among other things, a pump track and a streetball court. A new and, so far, one-of-a-kind feature in the city is a permanently installed DJ booth. Users can play music here using their own smartphones.

As things stand, the entire facility is scheduled for completion in late fall 2026. The city will provide information on the exact date and an official opening in a timely manner.
