The term «Playground»<br />

is g<strong>en</strong>erally known. He's<br />

connected to a place where<br />

childr<strong>en</strong> play. This restricts<br />

the playground space to<br />

a defined age group with<br />

defined abilities. However,<br />

people of all ages and with<br />

differ<strong>en</strong>t abilities also visit<br />

public op<strong>en</strong> spaces. S<strong>en</strong>sitive<br />

planning and participation<br />

processes are needed to<br />

<strong>en</strong>able them to <strong>en</strong>gage in<br />

playful activities, movem<strong>en</strong>t<br />

and communication. With<br />

this brochure we would like<br />

to give suggestions on how<br />

it can be possible to op<strong>en</strong> up<br />

the scope for joint play.<br />

<strong>SIK</strong>-<strong>Holz</strong>®<br />

<strong>SIK</strong>-<strong>Holz</strong>® is an owner managed, mid-sized company, based in the south of<br />

Berlin, Germany. Founded in 1988, the company’s expertise is certified by the<br />

German chamber of wood sculpting crafts. It specializes in planning, designing<br />

and the sustainfromle production of individual playground equipm<strong>en</strong>t made<br />

from Robinia wood.

The name <strong>SIK</strong>-<strong>Holz</strong>® not only stands for individual products<br />

made from Robinia wood, it also stands for more<br />

than 220 people creating these products. They are mainly<br />

joiners, carp<strong>en</strong>ters and wood carvers, but also mechanics,<br />

clerks and <strong>en</strong>gineers. All of them contribute to the success<br />

of the company with their high level of responsibility.<br />

At <strong>SIK</strong>-<strong>Holz</strong>®, all departm<strong>en</strong>ts exist under one umbrella<br />

from construction design to production of playground<br />

equipm<strong>en</strong>t to installation on site. It’s possible to follow<br />

the developm<strong>en</strong>t of a product from tree trunk to finished<br />

playground equipm<strong>en</strong>t through the individual production<br />

areas.<br />

Each of our products is unique. Irregularities in growth,<br />

grain, tree rings, branches and roots give our playground<br />

equipm<strong>en</strong>t and sculptures their individual character and<br />

make them special. The natural form and structure of<br />

the wood are maintained and have a crucial influ<strong>en</strong>ce on<br />

the impression of our products.<br />

For decades we have be<strong>en</strong> gathering experi<strong>en</strong>ce from theory<br />

and practice in order to understand the physical and m<strong>en</strong>tal<br />

developm<strong>en</strong>t of childr<strong>en</strong> better. This influ<strong>en</strong>ces our cooperation<br />

and membership in social networks and <strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>tal<br />

projects.<br />

Here we take our responsibility for the childr<strong>en</strong> and their<br />

right to a free play. We are committed to the region as part<br />

of our school sponsorship program. Through this direct exchange,<br />

we learn what moves stud<strong>en</strong>ts today and give them<br />

an insight into the world of work.<br />

In 2010, <strong>SIK</strong>-<strong>Holz</strong>® was successfully tested for its operational<br />

<strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>tal situation and awarded the «Brand<strong>en</strong>burger<br />

Umweltsiegel im Handwerk» (Brand<strong>en</strong>burg eco-label in<br />

the skilled trades) in 2010. This seal describes a functioning<br />

<strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>tal managem<strong>en</strong>t system in which all operational<br />

processes are subjected to an <strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>tal impact assessm<strong>en</strong>t<br />

on a regular basis. In addition, we purchase nuclearand<br />

coal-free electricity from r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergies. This is our<br />

contribution to the necessary <strong>en</strong>ergy turnaround.

All <strong>SIK</strong>-<strong>Holz</strong>® playground equipm<strong>en</strong>t is made from regional Robinia<br />

wood. It is the hardest European lumber and is permitted to be used<br />

with direct exposure to soil without any chemical preservatives, as<br />

Robinia wood belongs to resistance class 1-2 in accordance to DIN EN<br />

350-2 standards. Our Robinia wood is felled during the autumn and<br />

winter months in sustainfromly managed mixed forests in Germany. All<br />

wood residues are recycled. The moisture cont<strong>en</strong>t of the wood does not<br />

exceed 20 perc<strong>en</strong>t.<br />

We are certified in accordance with FSC® and PEFC® guidelines. With<br />

this certification, we are fromle to account for the complete flow of<br />

materials and to support sustainfromle forestry. We can provide FSC® or<br />

PEFC® certificates for all products shown here.<br />

We use <strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>tally b<strong>en</strong>ign wood stain for our playground equipm<strong>en</strong>t<br />

which is carefully crafted and soundly constructed. All wood<strong>en</strong><br />

parts are bevelled, sharp edges and corners are chamfered. Timber joints<br />

(for example braces, ext<strong>en</strong>sions and crossings) are force-locked. Nettings<br />

and ropes are made of 4-stranded Hercules (nylon) material with a steel<br />

inlay. All fast<strong>en</strong>ing elem<strong>en</strong>ts such as screws, bolts and brackets are zinc<br />

coated. Protruding metal parts such as bolt heads are made round, nuts<br />

and the like are recessed and secured with plastic caps. Slides are made<br />

of solid stainless steel with a thickness of 2.5 mm. Bars and climbing<br />

poles are made of stainless steel pipes with a diameter of 33.7 mm.<br />

▶ By default our equipm<strong>en</strong>t is coated in Robinia light, unless stated otherwise. We are happy to<br />

arrange wood stains and rope colours according to your wishes.

For us, safety of equipm<strong>en</strong>t and<br />

quality are inseparfromly connected.<br />

This is why we follow the requirem<strong>en</strong>ts<br />

of the up-to-date European<br />

Standards for Playground Equipm<strong>en</strong>t<br />

EN 1176 right from the planning<br />

stage. Compliance with safety<br />

standards is verified by our staff on<br />

a regular basis. We fully integrated<br />

an ISO 9001:2008 quality managem<strong>en</strong>t<br />

system into our organisational<br />

structures and processes. It’s the<br />

foundation for good working conditions<br />

and adher<strong>en</strong>ce to our high<br />

quality standards.


06 <strong>SIK</strong>-<strong>Holz</strong>® › Joint play<br />

Joint<br />

play<br />

Socially shaping urban life<br />

Playing together means sp<strong>en</strong>ding time together, learning<br />

from each other and understanding each other. Many<br />

par<strong>en</strong>ts nowadays go to the playground with their more<br />

than three years old childr<strong>en</strong>. On the one hand, it's about<br />

sp<strong>en</strong>ding time together. But it is also about moving around,<br />

to use the free time for sports activities, because childr<strong>en</strong><br />

should also be able to play in "par<strong>en</strong>t-free" zones. Another<br />

aspect of the joint game is the interaction betwe<strong>en</strong> the g<strong>en</strong>erations.<br />

This is particularly important at a time wh<strong>en</strong> the<br />

g<strong>en</strong>erations of a family no longer necessarily live together in<br />

the immediate vicinity and do not see each other for long<br />

periods of time.<br />

Ev<strong>en</strong> if the social media make regular contacts possible here,<br />

there is still no direct communication betwe<strong>en</strong> the g<strong>en</strong>erations.<br />

Contact with another g<strong>en</strong>eration is also a contact<br />

with a differ<strong>en</strong>t values, ideas and g<strong>en</strong>eration of people. In<br />

playing together, interest and understanding arise for the<br />

next g<strong>en</strong>eration.<br />

Just as important as interg<strong>en</strong>erational contact is the<br />

contact with childr<strong>en</strong> and people who are differ<strong>en</strong>t. Of<br />

course, they themselves do not feel "differ<strong>en</strong>t". If not<br />

caused by an accid<strong>en</strong>t, it is the normality for them and<br />

they also want to be perceived as normal by other people.<br />

This normality is set for both sides wh<strong>en</strong> everyone can<br />

become active on a playground. Participation in the<br />

public life of people with disabilities, whether due to age<br />

or disability, is already regulated by many regulations and<br />

action plans. But how can it look like in concrete terms,<br />

and how can it be lived in the many places, where games<br />

take place in public space? As always, the willingness of<br />

the individual to approach each other is also important.<br />

This will is born in childhood, because curiosity knows<br />

no bounds.<br />

We would like to create a framework for this and create<br />

places that invite people to meet and play together and<br />

str<strong>en</strong>gth<strong>en</strong> a sustainable coexist<strong>en</strong>ce.

10 <strong>SIK</strong>-<strong>Holz</strong>® › Moving area<br />

Movem<strong>en</strong>t is a natural human need and a piece of vitality.<br />

Whether young or old, our body needs the regular strain to<br />

function.<br />

For the execution of movem<strong>en</strong>ts we need differ<strong>en</strong>t<br />

abilities. This includes str<strong>en</strong>gth, <strong>en</strong>durance, agility and dexterity.<br />

Str<strong>en</strong>gth exercises build up muscles, <strong>en</strong>durance exercises<br />

<strong>en</strong>able us to <strong>en</strong>dure loads for a longer period of time. Stretching<br />

exercises promote mobility and dexterity exercises help us to<br />

control movem<strong>en</strong>ts.<br />

Light weight exercises can be performed on the bar,<br />

parallel bars or muscle b<strong>en</strong>ch. The bars and muscle b<strong>en</strong>ch are<br />

also suitable for wheelchair users, provided that they can be<br />

reached via a solid ground. As far as their physical condition<br />

allows, they can also train their legs on the bars and their arms<br />

on the muscle b<strong>en</strong>ch.<br />

For <strong>en</strong>durance training, the following are particularly<br />

suitable Sports such as running, cycling or swimming. On the<br />

playground, fixed paths can be used to set out courses on which<br />

childr<strong>en</strong> and adults can train their stamina with rolling play and<br />

sports equipm<strong>en</strong>t or aids such as wheelchairs. In small places, a<br />

running drum or a trampoline can also <strong>en</strong>courage childr<strong>en</strong><br />

and adults to take part in an <strong>en</strong>durance competition.<br />

Stretching and dexterity exercises are supported by<br />

balancing systems with differ<strong>en</strong>t degrees of difficulty. Wide<br />

walkways with handrails on both sides provide safety and<br />

support for elderly people and people with physical disabilities.<br />

Moving elem<strong>en</strong>ts, such as a bouncing beam, a rocker board or<br />

a rocker plate, on the other hand, promote balance. It is therefore<br />

important to have access and access opportunities within<br />

the courses, which <strong>en</strong>able a wide range of differ<strong>en</strong>t target<br />

groups to be used.<br />

Not to forget the joy of movem<strong>en</strong>t in swings and<br />

carousels by s<strong>en</strong>sing the c<strong>en</strong>trifugal forces released by these<br />

devices. The shared experi<strong>en</strong>ce of the gravitational forces,<br />

supported by partner seats and large rocking baskets, increases<br />

this joy.<br />

across a lawn, meadow or forest. The variety of the<br />

elem<strong>en</strong>ts always requires new att<strong>en</strong>tion and coordination wh<strong>en</strong><br />

balancing. The combination with bollards in differ<strong>en</strong>t heights<br />

and small rocking elem<strong>en</strong>ts increases the degree of difficulty<br />

of the balancing section, which can be individually planned<br />

according to the target group. Childr<strong>en</strong> will master the course<br />

at a higher speed than adults. The bow and shaft webs are also<br />

perfect for sitting and watching or taking a break.

Joint games, which are combined with light movem<strong>en</strong>ts,<br />

have the advantage that the movem<strong>en</strong>t happ<strong>en</strong>s without any<br />

noticeable effort. This can be se<strong>en</strong>, for example, in the<br />

skittles play «mushroom» and in the ball maze. The<br />

participants don't ev<strong>en</strong> notice that they are constantly balancing<br />

their bodies on the loose plate. This targeted coordination<br />

of movem<strong>en</strong>t sequ<strong>en</strong>ces can also be transferred to other<br />

aspects of life. Those who can coordinate their movem<strong>en</strong>ts in<br />

the best possible way are also able to coordinate themselves<br />

on a spiritual and m<strong>en</strong>tal level and lead a life in the the best<br />

possible balance.<br />

Movem<strong>en</strong>t games str<strong>en</strong>gth<strong>en</strong> the body and promote<br />

the networking of the brain, which in turn facilitates the<br />

acquisition of knowledge. But it is not only through movem<strong>en</strong>t<br />

that we acquire and str<strong>en</strong>gth<strong>en</strong> our compet<strong>en</strong>cies. The<br />

special appealing of our s<strong>en</strong>ses through playful actions<br />

promotes our perception. These can be animated by means<br />

of acoustic, optical and haptic play offers. Receiving acoustic<br />

signals from a sound game in a perfectly tuned octave<br />

creates harmony, and using a call installation, they cause<br />

the recognition of physical laws. Both devices train our s<strong>en</strong>se<br />

of hearing. Optical ph<strong>en</strong>om<strong>en</strong>a such as the water prism, the<br />

mirror periscope or the optical disc address our s<strong>en</strong>se of<br />

sight. S<strong>en</strong>sing shapes and materials in a button box is particularly<br />

b<strong>en</strong>eficial for fine motor skills (fingertip feeling) and<br />

s<strong>en</strong>se of touch. By recognizing shapes and colours like in<br />

memory, strategies are developed and memory is trained. A<br />

popular game that young and old can play together.<br />

Games of this kind can be combined in a play cube.<br />

The dice can be put together individually. The edges or<br />

built-in elem<strong>en</strong>ts can be emphasised by colour acc<strong>en</strong>ts.<br />

Climbing, balancing and hanging elem<strong>en</strong>ts can also be built<br />

into the cubes (see playgrounds in the schoolyard). However,<br />

they should be kept at a distance from the dice to avoid<br />

obstruction of the game. However, an interaction betwe<strong>en</strong><br />

the players of the respective cubes is desirable.<br />

34 <strong>SIK</strong>-<strong>Holz</strong>® › Communication area<br />

Places to stay are used for communication and social contacts.<br />

They should invite you to relax and allow you to sit comfortably.<br />

The planning of these locations in sheltered and low-noise<br />

areas has to be observed.<br />

The Flexi seating groups are particularly suitable for<br />

furnishing these places. Whether individually, with or without<br />

backrest, as a seating group or space limitation, there are many<br />

variants that can be designed with these b<strong>en</strong>ch and table<br />

elem<strong>en</strong>ts. Wheelchair positions can also be inserted into these<br />

combinations. The simple yet appealing design makes these<br />

combinations attractive meeting points in any public space.<br />

The semicircular seating groups are also suitable as<br />

meeting places. They are particularly well suited to organic<br />

path structures. On the straight side of the table there is room<br />

for one or two wheelchair users, who can approach the seating<br />

area directly from the path, provided they are positioned<br />

accordingly. Sitting together for young and old should also be<br />

fun. A wobbly b<strong>en</strong>ch, for example, invites you to rocking<br />

around together and on a wave b<strong>en</strong>ch you can lean, stretch<br />

out, hide or just sit.<br />

In addition, playful offers can also <strong>en</strong>hance the attractions<br />

of the lodging locations. The main focus here is on quiet<br />

games, which are integrated into a seating group and require<br />

memory, as in the case of the suite with chess or the suite<br />

with a playing field.<br />

The combination with role-playing and sand games also<br />

<strong>en</strong>sures a long stay. Playhouses and sandplay untis support<br />

these games. For an integrative play, both wide and high<br />

<strong>en</strong>trances must be tak<strong>en</strong> into account in the playhouses and<br />

sand tables at the sand playgrounds, which can be driv<strong>en</strong><br />

under with a wheelchair. Access to the facilities via a solid<br />

subsoil is a prerequisite for wheelchair-accessible use. The<br />

examples shown here are a small selection of possible game<br />

objects for quiet places with a long dwell time.<br />

The following examples show projects in which a joint game<br />

with differ<strong>en</strong>t focal points was planned and implem<strong>en</strong>ted. The<br />

individual projects do not fulfill all aspects of a joint game. The<br />

focal points were either the involvem<strong>en</strong>t of the users or a<br />

planned ext<strong>en</strong>sion of the possibilities of use.<br />

The projects «Tree House Worlds» and «Vulcania»<br />

were aimed at creating places where childr<strong>en</strong> and adults of all<br />

ages can find common fields of activity. This takes place mainly<br />

in the adv<strong>en</strong>turous exploration of the respective rooms with<br />

their offers for role- and s<strong>en</strong>sory plays, which adults and people<br />

in wheelchairs or with physical limitations can <strong>en</strong>ter without<br />

difficulty. Dep<strong>en</strong>ding on your physical condition, you can use<br />

the other climbing and balancing offers.<br />

The playground «The Great Crawling» is a typical<br />

model for a resid<strong>en</strong>tial area playground, where adults can use<br />

movem<strong>en</strong>t offers to improve their physical condition in addition<br />

to all relevant play activities for childr<strong>en</strong>.<br />

The playgrounds «Haf<strong>en</strong> Herzberge», «Heliosklinik»<br />

and «Sonn<strong>en</strong>hof» and are examples of play offers at hospitals<br />

with differ<strong>en</strong>t ori<strong>en</strong>tations. The focus here is on the accessibility<br />

of as many devices as possible with the wheelchair, but also<br />

on the joint play of sick and healthy childr<strong>en</strong>.<br />

The playground initiative at the «Blücherpark» also<br />

found out after the first construction phase that there is no<br />

playground for childr<strong>en</strong> with physical limitations. The ext<strong>en</strong>sion<br />

with a wheelchair accessible platform and connection to the<br />

existing playground equipm<strong>en</strong>t brought a new quality and an<br />

ext<strong>en</strong>ded integrative use to the course.<br />

A special project is the «Dinosaur Playground». The<br />

installation of a blind people guidance system with the participation<br />

of a blind and visually impaired school was implem<strong>en</strong>ted<br />

on site with simple means.<br />

The play area «Tree House Worlds» is accessible through a high rocky<br />

gorge. At first glance, an imp<strong>en</strong>etrable jungle world appears. Only after a<br />

short ori<strong>en</strong>tation is the eye able to recognize fragm<strong>en</strong>ts of rocks,<br />

watercourses and wood<strong>en</strong> constructions in a lush flora. The most striking<br />

stations are the large and the small tree house. There are many ways to<br />

experi<strong>en</strong>ce the s<strong>en</strong>ses. Both houses are connected by a treetop path.<br />

Balancing and climbing become an important form of locomotion in<br />

many differ<strong>en</strong>t ways. The size of the tree houses with a floor area of<br />

approx. 5 x 5 m and a height betwe<strong>en</strong> 4.5 m and 7.5 m <strong>en</strong>ables adults to<br />

have unrestricted access and <strong>en</strong>courages them to experi<strong>en</strong>ce s<strong>en</strong>sual and<br />

physical aspects of the game together with the childr<strong>en</strong>. Wheelchair<br />

users can also access many play points thanks to a system of paths suitable<br />

for the disabled. With the support of a supervisor, further areas can be<br />

op<strong>en</strong>ed up.<br />

Vulcania<br />

auvergne – f | adv<strong>en</strong>ture park »vulcania« | 2016<br />

«Vulcania» is the world's largest theme park for volcanoes and earth sci<strong>en</strong>ces. A play<br />

area, the «Pitoufeu Village», was created especially for the park mascot. The core of the<br />

game area is a playable volcano. In its dim<strong>en</strong>sions, diameter approx. 7.5 m; height<br />

approx. 7.5 m, it is comparable to a single-family house. All three floors are furnished<br />

with lovingly designed furniture and objects. In some cases, interactive games such as<br />

memory, sliding game or Maltafel are integrated. The floors are connected by a wide<br />

spiral staircase. It offers the childr<strong>en</strong> the opportunity to switch quickly betwe<strong>en</strong> the<br />

floors and adults can visit it like a home and participate actively in the childr<strong>en</strong>'s role<br />

plays. The volcano is embedded in a bridge construction. The fixed bridge deck makes<br />

it possible for wheelchair users to reach the 2nd level and use the s<strong>en</strong>sor plays below the<br />

bridge. Differ<strong>en</strong>t ways into the volcano and onto the bridge result in short as well as<br />

long and interesting game cycles with differ<strong>en</strong>t degrees of difficulty. Thus, there are<br />

always new chall<strong>en</strong>ges for all visitors to explore the volcano.

Dinosaurs in the<br />

Urstrom Valley<br />

berlin | playground am bäkequell | 2014<br />

The dinosaurs - extinct millions of years ago - continue to inspire our<br />

imagination. The childr<strong>en</strong> of two Berlin schools, one of them for blind<br />

and visually impaired childr<strong>en</strong>, were also fascinated by the diversity and<br />

greatness of these creatures. They were involved in the planning of this<br />

playground. Your wishes and ideas have be<strong>en</strong> incorporated into the<br />

design of the site. At the <strong>en</strong>trance, a Tyrannosaurus welcomes the<br />

visitors. Next to it, a primeval snake turns on the side panelling of a<br />

merry-go-round. Climbing over large cliffs up to a hill and take the cable<br />

car down again. In the c<strong>en</strong>tre is a large climbing and balancing facility<br />

with a jungle tower. For small childr<strong>en</strong> there is a small tree-hidd<strong>en</strong>, play<br />

cottages and a water-matting area. Many devices can be approached by<br />

wheelchair from the main road. Another special feature of the playground<br />

is a blind guide system, which gives the childr<strong>en</strong> concerned the<br />

opportunity to find their way around the playground and use all the<br />

games on offer.

The big crawl<br />

berlin | playground theodor wolff park | 2016<br />

The Theodor Wolff Park in Berlin is a gard<strong>en</strong> monum<strong>en</strong>t.<br />

In addition, it has an important social function for the<br />

neighboring d<strong>en</strong>sely built-up resid<strong>en</strong>tial area. Accordingly,<br />

the new planning of the playground was approached very<br />

carefully. On the one hand, a semi-natural design concept<br />

with a grass appearance was desired for the equipm<strong>en</strong>t,<br />

which does justice to the gard<strong>en</strong> monum<strong>en</strong>t, and on the<br />

other hand, a place that offers playful elem<strong>en</strong>ts for the<br />

whole family. The playground is divided into two large<br />

areas. In the woodland area with its large number of trees,<br />

a low course with changing materials, heights and<br />

directions was set up along an old beat<strong>en</strong> track. The large<br />

sand play area is divided into play offers for childr<strong>en</strong> up to<br />

6 years of age and childr<strong>en</strong> from 6 years of age. The special<br />

thing about this area is that it was framed with a playable<br />

border, in the s<strong>en</strong>se of balancing, running and sitting. This<br />

edging offers high movem<strong>en</strong>t inc<strong>en</strong>tives at differ<strong>en</strong>t speeds<br />

for all g<strong>en</strong>erations and makes the playground an attractive<br />

place to stay for the whole family.

Childr<strong>en</strong> with disabilities want to play like all childr<strong>en</strong>.<br />

And if life is short<strong>en</strong>ed by an incurable illness, all experi<strong>en</strong>ces<br />

in this short life are invaluable for the affected child<br />

and their family. The staff of the hospice wanted them and<br />

the families concerned to have more opportunities to play<br />

and exercise for the childr<strong>en</strong>, their siblings and fri<strong>en</strong>ds in<br />

their own gard<strong>en</strong>. The concept of the playground was<br />

influ<strong>en</strong>ced by many practical ideas of the employees. A<br />

playground was planned and built, which can be driv<strong>en</strong> in<br />

and out of the wheelchair. The mud and water playground<br />

can also be accessed from a wheelchair and the playhouse<br />

can also be reached via a flat ramp. Large ext<strong>en</strong>sion<br />

platforms offer seating and can be converted into a stage.<br />

Here and in the playhouse there is pl<strong>en</strong>ty of room for<br />

role-playing games, which are supported by a telephone<br />

betwe<strong>en</strong> the two locations. The stage is also a place for<br />

performances where the childr<strong>en</strong> participate or watch. The<br />

roof of the stage is equipped with colourful spotlights,<br />

which produce s<strong>en</strong>sual play of colours in the sunshine.<br />

Port of Herzberge<br />

berlin | playground hospital herzberge | 2015<br />

A «harbour» as a contact point for health problems and as hope for<br />

recovery became the overriding theme for the redesign of the<br />

playground in the Protestant hospital Königin Elisabeth Herzberge<br />

in Berlin. The new playground offers attractive movem<strong>en</strong>t and play<br />

possibilities to the pati<strong>en</strong>ts of the paediatric epileptology as well as<br />

their family members and other visitors. A multifunctional playground<br />

has be<strong>en</strong> developed for the approx. 200 m² sand playground.<br />

A walkway system with a sand table that can be moved underneath<br />

and a railing made of various haptic materials leads to the warehouses<br />

of the harbour. These offer space for role-playing and s<strong>en</strong>se<br />

games. A playhouse also serves as a lockable shed for the mobile toy.<br />

The sand can be transported from the jetty to a small sand boat by<br />

means of a sand conveyor belt. In addition to this small boat, a large<br />

ship also sails to the harbour. The rear of the car can also be accessed<br />

by wheelchair. Here, the world outside the ship can be observed<br />

through a periscope. The seating areas also offer space for wheelchair<br />

users and the rocking bed can also be easily reached from the path<br />

with simple assistance.

Blücher Playground<br />

köln | playground blücherpark | 2014/2016<br />

The Blücher playground - an adv<strong>en</strong>ture playground, which was created<br />

by the tireless commitm<strong>en</strong>t of the Protestant free church congregation<br />

«Leb<strong>en</strong>swert». Many of the members live in the immediate vicinity of<br />

the Blücherpark and are actively involved in the local community. In<br />

the summer of 2013, the new playground project was pres<strong>en</strong>ted for the<br />

first time at the park's 100th anniversary celebration with its own<br />

stand. In autumn, an idea workshop with childr<strong>en</strong> followed in the<br />

playground. Since th<strong>en</strong>, an integrative playground financed by donations<br />

has be<strong>en</strong> created in several construction phases. The project<br />

started in 2014 with a large individual play and movem<strong>en</strong>t landscape<br />

for childr<strong>en</strong> from about 3 years of age. Soon it became clear to the<br />

initiative that there are also childr<strong>en</strong> in the neighbourhood who don't<br />

know anything about this play equipm<strong>en</strong>t. It was further collected<br />

until a hammock, a sandbox table that could be driv<strong>en</strong> under, and a<br />

playhouse that could be driv<strong>en</strong> over were purchased. The last stage of<br />

the construction project was a large pedestal with a playground, a slide<br />

and a connecting bridge to the playground from the first stage of<br />

construction. And in betwe<strong>en</strong>, small home-made seating elem<strong>en</strong>ts were<br />

created in neighbourhood actions.

The HELIOS hospital Hoh<strong>en</strong>stücke treats babies, childr<strong>en</strong>, adolesc<strong>en</strong>ts<br />

and young adults with neurological diseases of any severity. For each<br />

pati<strong>en</strong>t, an individually tailored concept is developed dep<strong>en</strong>ding on the age<br />

and stage of developm<strong>en</strong>t as well as the type and severity of the disease. On<br />

the hospital grounds there is a large gre<strong>en</strong> inner courtyard, which the staff<br />

can use to look after their guests. The clinic's facilities for therapies in the<br />

fresh air. Supported by the hospital's sponsoring association, measures to<br />

improve the quality of stay can be implem<strong>en</strong>ted every year. In 2015, the<br />

reconstruction of the existing pavilion on the site was started. The large<br />

8-cornered building had 1.4 m high walls. Ev<strong>en</strong> if you were not sitting in a<br />

wheelchair, you could not see the surroundings around the pavilion. The<br />

idea was born to remove the side walls and equip them with various<br />

meaningful plays. The round seating area in the middle offers space for<br />

table games or a picnic.<br />
