Outdoor sports facilities generally have a high level of land consumption. However, the publication 11 Thesen zur Weiterentwicklung von Sportanlagen (Eleven theses on the further development of sports facilities, Federal Institute of Sport Science, 2018), confirms that “the need for decentral sports facilities in quarters/city districts near people’s homes“ is increasing. Easy accessibility is important for children, young people and older people. Yet Meinen et al. (2016) state that the market value of properties near outdoor sports facilities is lower, for example due to noise disturbance. The conflict between the need for outdoor sports facilities near people’s homes and noise emissions in the neighbourhood should be weighed up in each individual case with the participation of the people concerned, such as athletes, local residents and operators.
