The name of the playground says it all: the topic "Stone Age and Neanderthals" can be discovered in many corners in a playful way. Archaeological finds, such as lances and javelins, were taken up and interpreted in the design of the play area: a small watercourse with a mud area, a climbing opportunity made of “driftwood” and a stone slide were created for younger children. A "Stoßlanceturm", which is the highlight of the Stone Age playground with a height of up to eight meters, can be seen from afar.
In the center of the oversized lances, nets stretch across four levels. The ascent is a challenge for younger children, but courage is rewarded with a descent down a tube slide. In addition, a "throwing javelin forest" as a hanging construction, a climbing rock and a double swing and exchange swing in a primeval look complete the range of games.
All of this is due to the newly created and renatured confluence of the Düssel and Mettmanner Bach within throwing distance of the Ice Age game reserve and Neanderthal Museum.
