Description

A Journey Around the World in Treptower Park
Located within the expansive Treptower Park, the Weltspielplatz, or "World Playground," offers a unique concept where children can come together to play, learn, and grow in a spirit of peace and understanding .  
Spanning approximately 7,000 square meters, this three-dimensional adventure playground features imaginative landscapes that were actually conceived and designed by children themselves, fostering a sense of ownership and creativity .  
The playground incorporates play equipment that represents different regions of the world, such as the "Rocky Mountains" and "Skyscrapers" in the "North America" section, offering opportunities for climbing and exploration, and a whimsical large piece of yellow cheese in the "Europe" section, adding a touch of playful fun .  
Safety is a key priority at Weltspielplatz, with the installation of soft-impact surfaces from Polytan beneath the play equipment, ensuring a safer environment for children as they climb, skip, slide, and crawl .  
 
The fact that the playground features fantasy landscapes designed by children highlights a trend towards participatory design in creating play spaces, empowering children to shape their own play environments and fostering a sense of ownership and engagement.
The "world play area" theme aims to create a welcoming and inclusive space for children from diverse backgrounds, promoting intercultural interaction and understanding through play.
The use of soft-impact surfaces throughout the playground demonstrates a commitment to safety, especially in innovative and potentially challenging play structures.
