Facilities
The play equipment covers a range of ages. There is a playhouse, a swing and a slide, along with a spring rocker. For ball players, a table tennis table is also on hand.
A dedicated area is given over to sand play, with a sand play station, a sand digger and a sandpit. The grounds are fenced and accessible by wheelchair or pram. Trees and benches offer shade and invite a rest, and parking is nearby.
Origin of the Name
The playground takes its name from the neighbouring Kuhtor, a surviving section of Kempen's historic town fortifications. Built around 1350, the gate forms the northern entrance to the old town.
The town wall also includes the Turmmühle (tower mill), erected in 1481. In this way, a piece of Kempen's fortification history remains visible right beside the play area.
