The Langfort Recreation Park was expanded to the northeast of the pond area to include an activity area for seniors. The desire was to create a barrier-free generational garden that appeals to all age groups as much as possible and promotes communication among them.
Although the focus is on an offer for seniors, it is not limited to this age group alone, but also invites all those who feel comfortable in the garden or park and are looking for a balance to their daily work or space for leisure activities here.

In the approximately one-hectare generational garden, in addition to the existing sports and leisure opportunities, with the implementation of the new garden section, a range of all-weather fitness equipment invites visitors to engage in sporting activities or to meet under umbrella-shaped rock birches to play boules.
Numerous niches and benches offer further opportunities for retreat and relaxation with interesting garden perspectives and views. The paths are accompanied by various garden elements that convey different sensory experiences.
The central path axis of the Generation Garden leads to the adjacent fountain pool, which, with the trembling poplars next to the new scent and touch bed, provides alternating auditory experiences.
