Jungle Book Playground

There are certain stories that stand the test of time. The books in which such stories are recorded may be re-illustrated throughout time, but the admiration for its heroes endures. Rudyard Kipling’s “The Jungle Book” is an example of one of these stories. This book has been read by generations of youngsters for more than a century. The adventures of Mowgli, a foundling reared in the Indian jungle who is saved by the kindness of several animals, are among the most well-known in The Jungle Book. Other animals, on the other hand, are not fond of him. As a result, Mowgli must swiftly learn to discriminate between friend and foe. Mowgli becomes a hero and a companion in the child’s imagination as a result of his numerous adventures in the jungle. The primary reasons for the success of the Jungle Book are, of course, the songs and plays inspired by the Jungle Book stories.

SIK-Holz® created the first jungle playground in Berlin Charlottenburg in 1998. Andreas Schmidt, a planner from the urban green space planning agency, addressed it in the previous year’s Andreas Schmidt. His children’s literature also included the “Jungle Book.

The 400-square-meter playground is located on Eosanderstraße. This is a classic World War II gap, bordered by a tiny green space and a few trees. The ball play area is located towards the back of this area. This area is distinct from the playground. The boundary from the street is formed by a modest fence with a high entrance made of palm palms and a sleeping Bagheera. Every day, the playground resembles a stage at a theatre where the “Jungle Book” will be presented. This playground has a strong influence on the nearby kindergartens. Individual play aspects are geared at this age range.

With Mowgli, Baloo, King Louie, and Shere Khan, the youngsters seesaw, spin, and swing. They balance on the snake Kaa or climb and slide in the jungle play structure. Because there is sand everywhere on this playground, the kids may dig a lot. Because of the popularity of this playground, the previous development was modified. Only the layout has been altered somewhat in this case. Many little hummingbirds have been included as new additions. Hummingbirds dazzle with their bright colours, and they provide a unique flare to this tiny jungle in the middle of the metropolis.
