Fun and exercise on the Kinnekswiss

The City of Luxembourg is offering a range of fun outdoor activities, including a number of sports, on the Kinnekswiss in the municipal park from Friday, 12 July to Sunday, 1 September between 11:30 and 19:30 (weather permitting).

This programme is part of the City's efforts to promote the Kinnekswiss during the summer months and bring more life to this green space in the heart of the capital, so that residents and visitors can really make the most of it. The City's Service Sports (Sports Department) has put together a rich array of activities designed to cater to all comers with the aim of promoting recreational sport and encouraging people to engage in regular physical activity.

Get moving and have fun, there's something for everyone

The programme includes a number of increasingly popular sporting activities, such as football tennis (which combines elements of the two sports), slacklining (which consists of walking or balancing on a slightly elastic length of flat webbing suspended between two anchors) and cross boccia (a modern version of pétanque). It also includes more conventional sports (such as football, rugby, badminton and volleyball) and other lesser knows sports (such as frisbee, indiaca, croquet and field hockey), as well as a host of fun activities (such as crossminton, rope-skipping, bassalo, smolball, indiaca-tennis, mini-golf and sack races), games requiring dexterity and coordination (such as pogo stick, plumefoot, XXL Mikado and Leitergolf) and circus activities.

Weekly classes in Tai Chi Chuan and Qi Gong – both of which make use of harmonious movements and deep breathing to achieve a feeling of inner peace and relaxation – will be offered on the Kinnekswiss throughout the summer.

Participation is free – simply show up and have fun

There is no need to sign up in advance and participation is free. The sports equipment required will also be provided free of charge. Participation in the activities is at your own risk, though, and parents and educators are responsible for children in their care. In addition, participants must adhere to all applicable public health measures.

Trampolines in Merl Park

The "Jump for fun" trampoline box in Merl Park is back from Friday, 12 July to Sunday, 15 September 2024. Both kids and adults can bounce around for free on the 12 trampolines that are open to the public every day from noon to 20:00 (weather permitting).

The "Kinnekswiss: sport et détente au cœur de la Ville" (Kinnekswiss: sports and recreation in the heart of the city) and "Jump for fun" projects are joint initiatives of the Service Sports (Sports Department), which oversees the sports and leisure programme, as well as the Service Parcs (Parks Department), which maintains the city's parks and raises awareness among the public about DOs and DONTs in these shared spaces.
