Primary school De Es in Hellendoorn is a beautiful green playground with more natural elements.
By merging the school square and the green strip on the Verzetsstraat, a green zone of approximately 8000 square meters has been created. The park is a public playground for both the students and the children from the neighborhood. The school had a choice of several submitted visualisations. They chose BOERplay’s design because it best suits their wishes and vision.
Central place
The merging of the schoolyard and the adjacent green area offered various opportunities to create a central location for the entire neighborhood. Many natural play elements from BOERplay’s Adventure Play range have been incorporated into the design. For example, there is a custom-made tree house for small children and a Robinia balance bridge attached around and to an existing tree. In this way, it becomes a prominent place in this playground. The children can also balance on a large stilt path. And swing from one side to the other with the cable car. A water pump provides the necessary sand and water entertainment. The central location of the square and the adjustments that have been made ensure that all kinds of neighborhood activities can be held.
A beautiful play and discovery park has been created through a special collaboration between the local residents, the school, the municipality of Hellendoorn and with the support of the province. In short, a meeting place for the whole village!
