Dubbed ‘Ghost Train’ park. This old ruin has been re-purposed to be a place of fun and activity. The park has been redecorated with [fun and bright colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wired-scape) and the playground activities within it were made from entirely recycled materials. Not only did old electric train space find a new use, but the recycled materials in the park did as well. Another awesome feature of this park is that admission is completely free, so families can spend some quality time with each other, which is guaranteed to be lots of fun. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Recycled Parks:** The trend of repurposing abandoned areas into fun parks made with recycled materials. - **Green Playgrounds:** The trend of creating environmentally-friendly playgrounds with recycled materials. - **Free Family Recreation:** The trend of providing free recreational activities for families using repurposed materials. ### Who This Affects Most - **Environmental Services:** Opportunity to create businesses that repurpose abandoned areas and materials into new parks and play areas. - **Tourism:** Opportunity to create tourism destinations by repurposing abandoned areas into unique recreational spaces. - **Education:** Opportunity to develop educational programs around the importance of recycling and repurposing materials for recreational use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reanimated Power Plant Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manresa-island.md) - [Heritage Sound Playgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hornscape-playground.md) - [Rebuilt Historic Train Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/train-station-in-the-forest.md) - [Recycled Mini Golf Courses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniature-golf-course.md) - [Forgotten Theme-Park Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forgotten-fantasy.md) - [Futuristic Glowing Playgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joya-1.md) - [Structural Energetic Playgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archipelago-playscape.md) - [Multipurpose Bright Community Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skakkeringen.md) - [Eye-Catching Basketball Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basketball-park.md)
