Pasewalk inspires: Newly opened railway adventure center with pickleball!

Big innovations in the Pasewalk Railway Experience Center: The modernized rooms and outdoor facilities were ceremoniously inaugurated on Wednesday. Judith Käfert, the manager of the engine shed, presented the new offer, which is intended to further increase the attractiveness of the region. A key highlight is the introduction of pickleball, a new trend sport from the USA that is played by two to four players and is characterized by the use of special rackets and a perforated plastic ball.

The railway experience center now has a modern club room, two comfortable guest houses and new sports facilities. The outdoor area has been completely redesigned to provide guests with an attractive environment. These investments speak for the ongoing development of the locomotive shed, which has been under the management of the Berlin track construction company B U G for around three years and has a training center for track and overhead line construction.

Pickleball is trending

Pickleball, originally invented in 1965 as a children's game combining elements of tennis and table tennis, is growing in popularity around the world. In the US alone, the number of active people will have increased to almost 20 million by 2024, an increase of 311% since 2021. This sport is also gaining international appeal. The new sports area in the Railway Experience Center is expected to be a popular meeting place for locals and tourists alike.

But pickleball isn't just about fun; Those in charge of the engine shed have also learned that this sport comes with challenges. Complaints about noise from residents are not uncommon, and many players, especially older ones, report injuries. Nevertheless, the enthusiasm for this trend sport remains unbroken.

A look into the future

In the coming months, the Railway Experience Center is planning to expand the museum space and open an exciting track construction exhibition. This not only attracts railway fans, but also appeals to families and school groups. With more than 8,000 day guests since the beginning of May, it is clear that the offer is generating great interest. The future of the engine shed seems bright, and Judith Käfert's team has a good knack for new ideas.

With its continuous expansion and innovative innovations, the Pasewalk Railway Experience Center has clearly shown that it has established itself not only as a place for learning, but also as a contact point for leisure and sport. So if you're looking for something new, a visit to the Engine Shed could be just the thing. Further information can be found on the website of daily news or learn more about pickleball on Wikipedia.
