School playground

A small local school in the Antwerp region (Belgium) came up with the idea to transform a part of their completely paved play area into a green, natural one.

 

Driven by the parents’ committee, a concept was developed together based on the needs of the school, the parents and the children, taking into account the limited available budget.

 

The result is a fun play area which was shielded from the paved play zone (which is used mainly as football square).

 

  • The entire surface was covered with a thick layer of wood bark. Loose trunks are a multifunctional playing element for the children and also serve as seating during outdoor classes.

 

  • A sandbox was constructed which also serves as a long jump pit during sports practice.

 

  • A long bench was constructed using pavement stones that were recovered.

 

  • A stage with platform heigth 60cm was created and anchored securely.

 

  • Several plants were strategically planted to create a natural separation between different play zones.

 

The safety was accurately analysed during the entire project and evaluated meticulously in an extended risk analysis.
