Kita playgrounds in Freiham: New application for more freedom of use!
Freiham, Deutschland - In Munich there is a new and exciting project that could benefit many children. The parliamentary groups of CSU/Freie Voters, SPD and the Greens/Rosa List/volt are committed to opening daycare playgrounds in residential complexes. The background: In many residential complexes, the daycare centers are surrounded by fences, which means that the open spaces outside the operating times remain inaccessible to the small neighbors. For this reason, an application was made to the city administration on July 16, 2025, which should enable more flexibility when using the playground in a new residential complex in Freiham. So children could also play outdoors on afternoon hours and weekends, right on their own front door.
The new residential complex in Freiham comprises 175 apartments and is located in the first section of the WA19 construction site. The idea of mutorating the playgrounds was already supported by a specialist jury and urban planning in the construction competition. However, the current planning provides for the entire daycare area to fence, which would cover about half of the courtyard. As a result, the space for all children in the residential complex would be severely restricted.
use for more scope
Lena Odell, SPD city councilor, commented concern about the current situation: "It is certainly a shame if daycare playgrounds are empty on weekends and on vacation." Sebastian Weisenburger, City Councilor of the Greens, goes one step further and demands a holistic, more common planning of playing areas in Munich. He emphasizes how important it is for children to be able to use the new playgrounds, since they are essential not only for movement, but also for social contacts.
In parallel to this project, a model project is running that was initiated in July 2024. The aim is to test the common use of playgrounds for daycare centers and local families. After a year, it is to be evaluated how the use, maintenance and maintenance of the playgrounds can best work. Because playgrounds are not only important for the motor and social development of the children, they also contribute to an activating neighborhood.the political will stands
The political support for this initiative is clear. Among other things, also because the Bavarian Building Regulations prescribe that there must be a children's playground on the property or in the immediate vicinity of residential buildings with more than three apartments. In the future, this concept could help to optimally use the areas in Munich. The city councils Sebastian Weisenburger, Sofie Langmeier, Anja Berger, Paul Bickelbacher and Florian Schönemann stand behind this project and are committed to ensuring that the new planning in Freiham enables together for all children of all ages.
Overall, it turns out that the city of Munich is on the right track to drive an inclusive and child -friendly city design. The upcoming decision on the flexible use of the daycare playgrounds in Freiham could be pioneering for future projects. "We need a good hand to give all children access to scope," said Weisenburger.
