The Park was established in order to enable the Malkishua residents to experience
dynamic and empowering teamwork. The group activities strengthen personality components
and help the individual to confront crises.
The groups face challenges on various levels of difficulty. They provide an excellent
lever for the improvement of teamwork, the shedding of masks, getting to know the
participants thoroughly and so on. Besides the fixed installations, the park provides
many other possibilities for worthwhile activities.
