Accessible Restroom
An accessible restroom is located on the lower parking level of Arena365 and can be reached without steps. The restroom is accessible during the opening hours of the roller track and can be used without a key. It is equipped with grab rails, a wheelchair-accessible sink and sufficient manoeuvring space for use with a manual wheelchair.
Please note: Due to the weight of the door, opening it requires increased effort.
Access to the Roller Track
A step-free path with a compacted gravel surface leads from the upper car park to the access area of the roller track. Depending on the type of wheelchair or sports equipment used, navigating the gravel surface may require increased effort. Access to the track is only possible at the WM Tower via an electronic access system. A separate card reader for wheelchair users and handcyclists is located on the side of the stair railing. A valid ticket is required for entry. After scanning the ticket, the access system remains open for approximately 10 seconds to allow passage.
Please note: The existing passenger lift provides access to the Arena365 office facilities and, due to its dimensions, is not suitable for accessing the roller track with handbikes or larger sports or towing equipment.
