Above it, slightly offset next to each other, are two further soccer pitches with a cinder surface. To the right of the grass pitch is the parking lot, half of which is filled with cars. Below the grass pitch is a hall that houses an indoor swimming pool. To the left of the hall is another building. To the left of the grass pitch are two handball courts, a playground and a total of nine tennis courts. In the background of the sports park, separated by a small wooded area, is the Henkel site.
