Mr. Schmidt reports: ”After the construction of the brine park, we had a sports facility, a 1 km long running track and a Kneipp facility. There was only one question: What do we do for the children and families?
So that it can be used by children and young people, but also by older people or people with disabilities. We also all know the ‘problem’ of technology: cell phones, game consoles, and computers are trendy, and daily activities playing and exercising outside are forgotten. I did some research on Google by searching for the word ‘Multi-Functional Play Equipment + Computer.’ Yalp was the answer!’”
The city got all the funding so the project could be financed and started. Mr. Fröhlich commented: ”It is not only nice equipment for the city itself, but also for surrounding cities/villages in the region. Likewise, it attracts the neighboring towns.”
The season hasn't even really started yet, but the interactive devices are already an outright hit!
Mr. Schmidt also reported on the collaboration with Yalp: ”It took exactly four years and five days: from the first appointment to the purchase. And that was not because of Yalp; it was simply not yet clear to everyone what they wanted. However, Mr. Reinderink was very patient in this difficult phase; the relationship was simply super! But after a visit to Fort Fun, we were sure we wanted the interactive equipment from Yalp. And we achieved that, even with three devices, and the fourth is still to come in Arnsberg! Mr. Schmidt laughs: “It took us four years to make a decision, and everything had to be realized within four weeks. Yalp did a top performance there, too!”
”Our ARNI is now a meeting place where people come together. Not only to exercise or to play but also to meet. It combines gaming with media and is great for seniors, too. ‘The season hasn’t even started yet, but the interactive devices have already become an outright hit! This was just the thing!’
