This proposal was not selected because:

Thank you for your message.

The idea in question is interesting, and the Sports Department has no objection to it. However, the three proposals outlined below fall outside the Sports Department’s jurisdiction. Regulations regarding trees and related prohibitions, as well as the installation of posts on green spaces, fall under the jurisdiction of SPADOM, which notably established the slacklining charter. SPADOM is listed as the point of contact on the city’s website for all such matters, and based on the comments, it appears that discussions with SPADOM have already begun.

We therefore refer you to this service, which should be able to review these requests and provide a response. We remain available for any further consultation.

Installation of Slackline Poles in Vidy and Milan Park

1. Context:

The City of Lausanne prohibits slacklining between March and May. According to the city, slacklining may pose a risk of bark damage due to the rising sap in our trees. See the City of Lausanne’s charter:

https://www.lausanne.ch/vie-pratique/sport-pour-tous/installations-sportives/slackline.html

This restriction limits the slacklining season to the months of June through September.

--------------------

2. Proposal:

(2.1) Installation of a few unobtrusive poles (in groups of 2 or 3, spaced 10–15 meters apart; up to 50 meters for a longline on the Petit Train hill in Vidy) in a location that is not visually intrusive. Note: The municipalities of St-Sulpice and Ecublens have likely already installed poles.

(2.2) As an alternative: select trees and protect them with a sturdy, fixed ring so that a slackline can be attached.

(2.3.) Re-examine whether there is truly a risk to trees (few cities around the world ban slacklining)

Thank you very much!

--------------------

3. Motivation:

So that we can enjoy this wonderful sport without feeling guilty.
