Playground Buitenwereld, a piece of “outside” in Houten, has been completely renovated and renewed. The layout and a number of elements have been retained, but a number of special play values have been added to the playground and the entire climbing area has been tackled. Inspired by the old situation, but expanded with a large tailor-made climbing climber course, for even more fun!
Renovation
Colorful devices from the Mini-play, Jungle Play, Vrijbuiter and Street furniture programs were chosen.All devices are placed on a concrete parking deck and also offer the children a lot of exercise and fun there! The old climbing towers needed to be replaced. Not that the children were bored, but because the material was very outdated and was at the end of its life. The wish of both the municipality, the neighboring petting zoo and the children was to renovate the climbing towers and put them back and to keep the slides. The children also wanted to be able to climb from the lookout tower on the hill to the other climbing towers.
Play values
The climbing towers are connected with each other using separate climbing clamber connections. The play towers can be reached in various ways: via stairs, climbing walls or net constructions. Arriving at the top, you can choose to go back via one of the slides or to climb to the next part via an exciting crossing. Net bridges, an exciting wobbling stair construction, it makes climbing at height a true experience. And furthermore, on the hill stands a renewed robust hardwood staircase that takes you to the watchtower. In this way the watchtower has become part of the whole.
Natural materials
Natural materials have been used as much as possible. FSC certified types of wood are interspersed with each other. Whimsical Robinia wood and sustainable hardwood together provide a playful effect in appearance. It has been decided to keep certain parts, such as the RVC slides, which are also a favorite with the children. The use of sustainable materials and preservation of parts of the playground contributes to the circularity and sustainability of the environment.
Nature playground
The result is a completely renewed challenging nature playground with even more play values. For years of playing pleasure for Houten and the surrounding area. Also looking for an exciting and challenging interpretation for a nature playground? Contact us for the options for your project.
