Outdoor experiences and exercise-oriented leisure activities

Whether hiking, cycling, or paddling—many leisure activities today focus on exercise in nature. Exhibits at the trade fair show how companies are developing innovative solutions for active recreation—from mobile courts to self-sufficient living units.

  • Modular pickleball courts for temporary sports areas
  • Solar-powered houseboats for nature-loving travel
  • Camping solutions with intelligent room layout
  • Mobile tiny houses for flexible outdoor stays
The focus is often not on competition, but on experience, recreation, and environmental awareness. Messe.TV accompanies these developments with reports on products and concepts that are redefining modern leisure.

Travel and temporary living concepts reimagined

The desire for individual accommodation solutions is giving rise to new formats – such as mobile rooms or residential yachts that combine comfort with independence. The solutions presented show what travel beyond the classic hotel model can look like.

  • Residential yachts with Jacuzzi, glass front, and smart home system
  • Tiny Stay: fully equipped mobile rooms
  • Mobile homes for permanent residence in accordance with German building regulations
These types of living spaces are not only suitable for vacations, but also for events or temporary solutions in urban areas. They combine design, functionality, and technical self-sufficiency – a growing field within leisure activities.

Play, adventure, and the design of public spaces

Outdoor play equipment, parkour facilities, or nature-themed parks – all of these shape the design of public leisure facilities. Manufacturers are showing how play areas can become more creative, safer, and more attractive.

  • Natural wooden play equipment with educational value
  • Modular parkour facilities for urban exercise areas
  • Inclusive play equipment for daycare centers and schoolyards
These systems not only appeal to children, but also promote intergenerational use. They are often the result of close cooperation between local authorities, landscape architects, and educators – an exciting topic at trade fairs.

Sports equipment and technologies for new trend sports

Padel, pickleball, and similar sports are gaining popularity – both in leisure and club settings. New materials, tracking systems, and modular constructions support this development and make it easy to get started.

  • Pickleball rackets with carbon core and soft grip
  • Video analysis systems for amateurs and clubs
  • Mobile equipment for temporary sports areas
The combination of technology and sport is particularly striking: sensors, apps, and smart net elements help to measure performance and share content – aspects that are also becoming increasingly relevant for leisure providers.

Leisure in transition: sustainability, innovation, and new target groups

The leisure industry is increasingly focusing on ecological and social aspects. Resource conservation, inclusion, and innovative usage concepts are coming to the fore – from hybrid vehicles to floating living spaces.

  • Hybrid solutions such as the Sealander: caravan and boat in one
  • Sustainable playgrounds with CO₂-reduced materials
  • Houseboats with reusable pontoon systems
These approaches show that leisure activities are more than just entertainment. They reflect social developments, create new spaces for experiences, and appeal to target groups who want to combine functionality, meaningfulness, and experience.
