Two years ago they first enlivened the space with bold patterns and primary colours, which were now replaced with different shades of blue, pink, purple and orange. Another addition are backboards made from translucent pink plastic were added, while the playing area and zones are marked out in white, giving the whole space a very 80ies-like look.

As part of the latest update, the white barrier concealing it from the street has been replaced with a lower wall and panels of blue mesh, so pedestrians can now have a look inside.
