A designer playground whose play equipment blends in with the surroundings

Although Sydney's newest district, the Darling Quarter, is located in the middle of the city, it offers plenty of space for leisure activities and recreation. The aim of this urban development project was to create a family-friendly urban space for living and working. The integrated park has proved to be a key driver for the development of the Darling Quarter.
It is also home to one of the city's most exciting playgrounds. Its spacious water area was created on a concrete surface with a design reminiscent of ice floes.
The water is pumped, for example with the user-friendly "water dispenser", which even the very youngest children can easily operate. The water flows through channels between the "ice floes" and can be dammed and diverted here and there. It can then be transported back up again using the Archimedean screw and scoop fountain.
 

Enrichment for shopping arcade: Richter indoor playground

The fact that Richter not only equips conventional playgrounds but also designs indoor play areas can be seen, for example, in the "Arese" shopping arcade in Milan, Italy.
With an area of 92,000 square meters spread over 200 stores, restaurants, cafés and an indoor and outdoor sports facility, the Arese Shopping Center is the largest shopping mall in Italy. Here you will find a Richter play paradise, which attracts attention from afar thanks to its attractive centerpiece, a 13-meter-high pyramid tower. The tower is also equipped with a climbing wall, net windows and a huge tunnel slide with portholes. Next to it are spacious platform huts that can be climbed and explored and, with their niches, not only offer children of all ages a place to retreat to, but also enable a wide variety of role-playing games. There are child-friendly seating areas for painting, chatting and picnicking.

A play ship in the style of a Nile galley

Meeting the customer's wish to customize the playground of an outlet center in a very special way was an exciting challenge. The main attraction was to be a Nile galley. The large wooden ship was constructed in its characteristic shape and supplemented with elements such as a steering wheel and suspension bridge as well as various sand play modules.
The playground, which is perfectly visible from the outside area of the café, gives children a welcome break from tiring shopping activities. Depending on their mood, they can jump wildly or balance carefully on the wobbly beam and bouncy boards.
