This spring, the senior citizens' advisory council of the municipality of Uelsen created four new seating areas in the Bürgerpark. The so-called "Proatbaunken" are located in the immediate vicinity of the boules court and are intended to offer older people the opportunity to socialize with one another.
To kick off the event, numerous interested people met for coffee and a chat at the new benches. The Chairman of the Seniors' Advisory Council, Herbert Koers, welcomed the guests and emphasized the importance of these meeting places. Mayor Hajo Bosch also thanked the Seniors' Advisory Council for its commitment and wished the project every success.
According to the initiators, the benches are far more than just simple places to sit: They invite you to meet other people, listen and spend time together.
The next meetings are scheduled for Wednesday, 27.08.2025 and 24.09.2025 at 3.00 pm - weather permitting.
