As we continue to wonder why so much more time, energy and attention is lavished on adults’ play and entertainment spaces than on kids’ play and entertainment spaces, we sometimes find a cool spot worth mentioning.
The ‘;sculptural playground’; Schulberg located in a formerly neglected area overlooking the historic centre of the city of Wiesbaden in Germany, is one of such great kid-friendly environments. It is both kid- and adult-friendly and big enough to hold even the most active kid’s attention for several visits.
Designed by Berlin-based ANNABAU Architektur und Landschaft, the pentagon-shaped play area mirrors the city’s historic shape. The playground consists of three elements: A suspended net walkway loop supported by two undulating lengths of stainless-steel pipe; an artificial landscape created inside the loop; and a wide boulevard with benches outside the loop. – Tuija Seipell.
