‘Wir(04)helfen’ day – Great work in Neuland Park

It is already a cherished tradition: Once a year, a large number of members of staff at Bayer 04 GmbH swap their workplaces and dedicate themselves to another task. And the focus is on a good cause. The fifth day of action under the banner of 'Wir(04)helfen' involved the Werkself working in Neuland Park on Tuesday.

Neither pouring rain nor soaked clothing could stop the 75-strong Bayer 04 team of sprucing up parts of the former site of the state garden show: With the support of the Friends of Neuland Park and the counselling organisation in Leverkusen, work was done in several themed gardens in terms of digging and improvement: Rolls of turf were transported, cut to shape and laid, plants supported and in places new plants put in, drainage was laid, weeds were removed, old benches dismantled and, last but not least, 80 tonnes of shells were transported and distributed along individual paths – with the help of machines but mainly through the use of shovels, wheelbarrows, rakes and countless steps.

After the morning training session, the Werkself players and coaches joined in to lend a hand to the workaholics with their improvement work.

Prior to the day, an outdoor gym had been set up in Neuland Park consisting of four pieces of fitness training equipment for the whole body and Bayer 04 Fußball GmbH has made a financial contribution. Next year, another four pieces of fitness equipment painted black and red will be installed – and preparatory work was done on the day of action in terms of laying foundations.
