»Playing awakens the creative potential of
the child and creates an area of
self-empowerment and self-realisation
of individual freedom
for young people
and adults.«
German sports association
Two-senses principle:
By appealing to two senses (sight,
sound, touch, taste) when designing a
playground, this increases the number
of user groups and length of stay.
Participation:
In terms of user participation, it is
important that the demographic
structure is adequately reflected to
consider the interests of children of
different ages and abilities, different
social classes as well as boys and girls.
Two-way principle:
Play equipment and items should be
accessible from at least two different
locations. At least one location
should be easily accessible.
Accessibility:
Playgrounds should be accessible
for everyone to avoid unnecessary
obstructions. Playing and interaction
between different users can be
achieved by participating and using
different abilities and skills, as well as
the choice of subsequent play equipment.
Signage:
A signage system for the individual
play areas through sight, sound,
touch, taste, smell or body awareness
makes all users orient themselves
around the playground easily.
