Green family afternoon in Grafing: fun for young and old!

Green family afternoon in Grafing: fun for young and old!

In Grafing, an upcoming family afternoon brings cheerful views of the local community. On Sunday, September 28th, 2025, the Grafing local branch of Alliance 90/The Greens invites you to a colorful festival from 1:30 p.m. at the Max and Moritz playground, located on Bahnhofsstrasse. Families from Grafing and the Ebersberg district can look forward to a varied program with coffee and cake, face painting and games designed to promote personal contact between families. If the weather does not cooperate, the event will be postponed to Saturday, September 27, 2025. Admission is free, but donations are warmly welcomed to enable such family-friendly events in the future. gruene-ebersberg.de reports that the playground is particularly popular for this type of activity.

The Max and Moritz playground is not only a place for celebrations, but also a much-loved retreat for many children in the region. This is where they enjoy spending their afternoons, leading to heartbreaking scenes when it's time to go home. Unfortunately, this popular place could be in danger: the playground is at risk because the adjacent fire station either needs to be enlarged or rebuilt. Fire brigade commander Schorsch Besser and club chairman Andreas Schmidt emphasize the urgent need for action to ensure operational safety. Current problems such as exits that are too small and slippery floor surfaces raise questions that absolutely need to be addressed. sueddeutsche.de explains the effects of this situation on the playground.

The importance of the playground

Particularly noteworthy is the central location of the Max and Moritz Playground, which offers shaded areas and public toilets - all of which make it an excellent destination for families. In addition, in recent years donations from organizations such as the Rotary Club Ebersberg-Grafing have led to new play equipment that also benefits children with disabilities. This not only shows the commitment of the community, but also shows the high level of appreciation of the playground, which is listed on the platform www.ichspringimdreieck.de as one of the best in the Munich area.

The uncertainties surrounding the playground require a clear approach. Mayor Christian Bauer (CSU) has already explained that there are no plans to close or relocate the playground, but that a feasibility study to convert or build a new fire station must be initiated. The procedure will probably take some time, as the monument protection of the neighboring museum building will also be taken into account. The current situation makes it clear how important well-thought-out game management planning is.

Creative participation

The game planning gives families and children a voice. It takes place in several stages: from taking stock to assessing gaming potential and developing concrete measures. This planning must focus on the perspectives of children and young people so that future play, adventure and lounge spaces are a joy for everyone. The results from the participation of children and young people provide valuable information that should be incorporated into local development. kinderfreunde-kommunen.de provides information about the methodology.

The citizens of Grafing are called upon to take part in this discussion and to contribute their ideas. The upcoming family afternoon offers an excellent opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas and reinforce the importance of the Max and Moritz Playground in the community.
