The Monster Playground

The playground in Bispeparken, Copenhagen consists of a giant robot monster chained to the ground with huge crates scattered around him. In the design process – we called on the creative insight of the real play experts – the children of the area, who we held a workshop with. They came up with the fun concept of a huge monster as the centrepiece of the playground. The 10-meter-long monster is composed of many different elements with different play possibilities. The upper torso and the head of the monster act as a playhouse and observation point.

The legs of the monster are connected with ropes and a steel bar.

The monster is hollow and kids can climb up to the top and exit through the back.

Instead of arms, the monster has four steel bars for the kids to slide down.

The kids can exit the monster through the back and climb down the boxes that are stacked on top of each other.
