B-Part Sports Opens: B-Part Am Gleisdreieck gets innovative outdoor training park
January 23, 2020
Berlin, January 23, 2020 – Since March 2019, B-Part Am Gleisdreieck, located in the heart of the park, has been providing space for everyone who wants to discuss and develop solutions for the future of work, new mobility, and urban communities under one roof. As a laboratory for the urban quarter of tomorrow, B-Part is already what the Urbane Mitte Am Gleisdreieck is intended to become: a cross-generational and vibrant meeting place. With B-Part Sports, another step of this vision has become a reality today. The publicly accessible outdoor training park was opened by Michaela Schulte, Head of the Sports Department for the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district, gymnastics legend Philipp Boy, and Marc F. Kimmich, CEO of COPRO & Founder of B-Part Am Gleisdreieck. In the future, this location will offer numerous opportunities for body fitness, fun, and movement. Philipp Boy, sports ambassador for Urbane Mitte Am Gleisdreieck, co-developed the sports park and presented the concept at the opening.
Holistic concept for body and mind
"Movement for everyone" is the initiators' motto – featuring a versatile fitness park directly within the park itself – naturally sustainable and intercultural. At the approximately 300 m² B-Part Sports, "work" and "workout" are intended to form a symbiotic connection. From fitness circuits for beginners and professionals to workout areas, gymnastics equipment, and step boxes: Philipp Boy has designed an inspiring program for body and mind, creating a holistic concept for Berliners, neighbors, and interested visitors.
Sports courses with Philipp Boy
"B-Part Sports will significantly expand the range of sports offered here in the Park am Gleisdreieck," said ex-Olympian Philipp Boy. "I will be present myself and offer a variety of courses for which I have put together a gymnastics-based program. I am very pleased to be able to enable an active lifestyle here in the heart of Berlin together with B-Part Am Gleisdreieck and to help shape the park for the people of this city. I want to bring people together through sport and promote active cooperation. Therefore, it was particularly important to me to offer different courses for all age and fitness groups."
Inner-city quarter of the future
The approximately 26-hectare Park am Gleisdreieck is a new type of city park: established wilderness meets designed open space, and relaxing retreats meet versatile open areas. "The district can only welcome such sports offers at Gleisdreieck; the demand for modern sports facilities for everyone is huge," said Michaela Schulte, Head of the Sports Department.
B-Part Am Gleisdreieck as an invitation
B-Part Sports is embedded in the overall concept of B-Part Am Gleisdreieck. Spanning approx. 1,000 sqm, the pioneer project offers a public café, numerous co-working spaces, and multifunctional rooms for art exhibitions and events. In addition to this "hardware," B-Part also houses unique "software" with the Urban Ideation Lab: The lab offers six free, curated workstations for researching future-oriented ideas and solutions for a livable urban quarter. B-Part Sports is a further invitation to everyone to get involved and help shape things: sport for connecting together. Similar to B-Part Am Gleisdreieck, B-Part Sports was also created from a modular construction system and can be flexibly redesigned and relocated.
Urban quarter with social responsibility
"B-Part is intended to present people with our vision for a resource-efficient, forward-looking, open, and versatile urban quarter," said Marc F. Kimmich. "Urbane Mitte Am Gleisdreieck will harmoniously combine all aspects of future living and working: art and culture projects, subsidized spaces for local manufacturers, cross-generational social facilities, as well as offers for new mobility and the work of the future will create an innovative and intercultural meeting place. Now, B-Part Am Gleisdreieck is being expanded to include the versatile sports park B-Part Sports, which rounds off our holistic claim for the urban quarter of tomorrow. We are very pleased that we were able to win Philipp Boy as a sports ambassador! His expertise and varied range of courses will contribute significantly to creating a gathering place for urban communities here."
As early as next Saturday, January 25, 2020, Philipp Boy will offer two free training sessions for interested parties. From 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. for beginners and from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. for advanced users. From February 1, 2020, B-Part Sports will be freely accessible to the public. Guided courses, for example with Philipp Boy, can be booked via the B-Part website.
