Additional summer water activities in Alice Square will mark the end of the current period.
The much-anticipated water play area at Offenbach's Aliceplatz is set to return this summer, providing a refreshing and fun-filled destination for children and families. This annual installation will be operational from July 30 to August 24, transforming a part of Aliceplatz into a water playground[1][3].
The water play area features 1,024 water jets that shoot fountains upwards, creating a playful splash area for the little ones[5]. The jets can generate fountains up to four meters high, providing an exciting and engaging experience[6].
Located in the heart of the city, the water play area is easily accessible, making it a convenient spot for both residents and visitors[5]. The city uses a closed system with resource-saving water treatment to ensure the water quality is maintained at a high standard[4]. Daily testing is conducted before operation to ensure the water is safe for play[5].
However, it's important to note that the water play area is a seasonal setup, designed to provide relief during the warm summer weeks[2]. Due to budget constraints, the installation may not continue permanently or be repeated in the coming years[2][3].
The festive opening of the water play area on July 30th will be accompanied by a children's disco, making it an even more special occasion[7]. Mayor Dr. Felix Schwenke will officially open the facility at 4 pm on the opening day[7]. This year, the water play area should be consciously perceived as a special summer highlight[8].
The Aliceplatz water play area forms part of a broader network of outdoor water and play facilities in Offenbach, designed for family-friendly summer activities[4]. These include other parks and playgrounds equipped with water sprays and fountains nearby[4].
The Offenbach City Marketing Society (OSG) is responsible for the free offer of the water play area[9]. Given its popularity in previous years, it's expected to be a hit once again this summer. So, mark your calendars and get ready to beat the heat at Offenbach's Aliceplatz water play area!
