As experts in gardening and landscaping, we maintain and design sports facilities that combine close proximity to nature with the requirements of modern sports infrastructures. As a project partner, our aim is to support sport and leisure activities and create valuable green spaces that promote community.
Sports field construction: Green for sport and leisure
Challenges and solutions
Changes in climate and modern demands on sports facilities are the challenges faced in modern sports ground construction. By taking the following aspects into account during construction and maintenance, we contribute to long-lasting solutions:
- Sustainable irrigation: We install water management systems that preserve the natural balance and take extreme weather events into account.
- Climate-friendly design: We plant resistant plants and materials that can withstand heat and drought and install efficient irrigation systems.
- Safety: Everything implemented on behalf of the planners and project managers ensures the safety of the athletes – and blends harmoniously into the landscape.
- Landscape integration: Our comprehensive approach takes into account not only the purely sporting function, but also the smooth integration of the sports facility into the landscape.
What are the different types of sports fields?
There is a wide variety of outdoor sports and leisure facilities in both the city and surrounding areas:
- Multi-sports facilities: In addition to traditional facilities for grass sports, there are a number of multi-sports facilities that are integrated into natural park landscapes. These include, for example, basketball courts, skate parks and publicly accessible running tracks.
- Hybrid systems: Hybrid systems are also an established trend. These combine traditional lawns with artificial turf in order to utilize the advantages of both systems – nature where possible and high performance where needed.
- Nature parks with sports grounds: In addition, sports grounds are often combined with biotopes and semi-natural zones to support biodiversity and also contribute to the regeneration and recuperation of athletes.
Whatever your project looks like – we are the right partner for sports field construction with our services – from stone and groundwork, to planting and path construction through to ongoing maintenance!
Sports ground renovation and maintenance
In addition to the implementation of individual sports ground designs, we are also active in conversion projects and in the permanent landscape gardening maintenance of sports facilities. Our services include:
- Ecological upgrading: We transform existing sports fields into environmentally friendly facilities by landscaping and greening areas.
- Green space management: We ensure that sports facilities are maintained in a natural way that is compatible with nature and at the same time safeguards sports and playing functions.
- Preservation of natural surfaces: We preserve and maintain natural grass areas that offer athletes a natural playing experience.
Project examples from Greenovis member companies
Here is an overview of some of the sports ground construction projects that we have already supported and implemented.
Gebrüder Grimm-Grundschule (Primary School), Hoppegarten, Brandenburg
The “Gebrüder-Grimm-Grundschule” project was implemented by Greenovis member company Rüdiger Brandenburg. It comprises a 22,000 square meter outdoor area with a district center and a sports field with a 400-meter running track. There is also an adventure playground. A decentralized rainwater infiltration system ensures sustainability. The client was Implenia Hochbau GmbH, with planning by plandrei Landschaftsarchitektur.
Spielpark Park (Skate Park), Bremerhaven-Leherheide
The Spielpark Leherheide in Bremerhaven combines a skate park and BMX park. Seen from the air, the facility is reminiscent of an eye that blends harmoniously into the landscape: The central area made of concrete is complemented by ramps and halfpipes made of wood on asphalt. Our member company Siefken Landschafts- und Gartenbau was responsible for the greening and landscaping of the facility. The design was created by DSGN concepts.
