Badeland's reopening: Wolfsburg is looking forward to water pleasure!

What is going on in Badeland Wolfsburg? On Saturday, July 12th, sub -areas of this popular leisure pool will finally open again. In addition to the sports pool and the sauna, part of the fun pool is also available to visitors: inside. The regulations are simple: the opening times remain as usual - so welcome back in the water!

In the fun pool, the Mediterranean basin, the flow channel, the whirlpool and certain areas of the inner lawn are usable again. After a closure of several weeks, which began on June 2, many other repairs could be found on the pools during the revision work. As a result, the water play garden remains closed for the time being, since the work is more extensive than originally thought. The renovation measures should be completed by September 30th.

This shows how important access to swimming pools is. In addition, it is pointed out to the shortage of skilled workers in bathing masters, which also contributes to the closure of baths on certain days, which further restricts the availability of leisure activities.

In this challenging time, the indoor and outdoor pools in need of renovation are a central topic that moves society. A clear plan and the right financing are required to ensure that no citizen has to drive to a swimming pool for more than 30 minutes.
