Romsey, Great Britain
War Memorial Park
The nearly hundred-year-old War Memorial Park in Romsey, UK has a highlight in the form of a sculptural playground with a sensory garden. As a sculptural stand-alone play unit, the focus is on The Globe. The first rope play equipment with a wooden outer frame made by Berliner Seilfabrik. The new playground succeeds in uniting the unique monumental atmosphere of memory with the liveliness of playing children in a common place.
The local district office was responsible for creating a playground that offered a new, previously unattainable range of exercise compared to the traditional playgrounds that already existed. At the same time, the prevailing theme of the park,“ memory”, should be taken into account.
Visually, the playground equipment should fit as well as possible into the existing environment.
The optimal solution lay in the choice of the play device The Globe from the Joe Brown Collection of the Berliner Univers series as a central design element of the playground. The exterior wooden frame, with its warm color scheme and clear geometric shape, fits perfectly into the natural environment of the park. In addition, the spatial network offers endless climbing opportunities for children and promotes their psychomotor abilities.
