Exciting! one of Europe’s most complex playgrounds to be built in Budapest

The next phase of the Liget Budapest Project is to be focused on family-friendly additions. Hungary’s biggest and most modern playground will be built in City Park, on a designated area of over 13 thousand square metres. Located on the south-eastern part of the park, the playground will be secure and available for children and families from autumn 2019.

As part of the Liget Budapest Project, there will be seven new playgrounds in City Park. According to ligetbudapest.hu, construction of the first one – that will be the biggest out of the seven – is going to start in the next few days.

Apparently, it will not be just an ordinary playground – the special equipment and the specific elements designed to urge children to explore and learn about nature and the environment is going to be one of a kind in the capital. For instance, there will be an area with sand and water where children can learn through the fossil-copies that will be hidden in the sand, waiting to be discovered.

This is just one example of how those behind the plans want to inspire children to let their imagination loose but also to learn something in the process.

The plans reveal that the playground will be suitable for both younger and older children. The small ones can play in a secure area that parents can supervise from the nearby benches, but the older ones can also have fun – this playground caters to all needs. Children can learn about Physics by checking their speed on the slides or by seeing how far they can jump – and what animal’s abilities that distance resembles. The older ones can enjoy a skate park, a climbing wall and an area designated for rollerblading and scootering, while there will also be a pump track for the BMX-enthusiasts.

It is interesting to note that, besides landscape architects, teachers and psychologists, children also took part in the designing of the playground.
