Oberhausen rescheduled ‘Day of Sports’ following heatwave

The Stadtsportbund Oberhausen (SSB) has announced that the ‘Day of Sports’ will be rescheduled for Sunday, August 30. The event, which celebrates the 10th anniversary of ‘Sport im Park’, was originally postponed due to a heatwave with temperatures approaching 40 degrees Celsius.

Managing Director Sabine Grajewski stated the decision was made to protect staff from extreme heat during setup and teardown. The rescheduled event is expected to have milder temperatures between 20 and 22 degrees Celsius.

The program will feature approximately 25 clubs offering various activities, including hip-hop, tap dance, hobbyhorsing, and Zumba. A central focus of this year’s celebration remains inclusion, featuring adaptive sports such as wheelchair tennis and ‘Judo for all’ provided by Alsbachtal and the Disabled and Rehabilitative Sports Association of NRW.
