Wola Park
Warschau / Poland / 2021
An imaginatively designed indoor playground
The spacious "Wola Park" shopping center in the heart of the Polish metropolis of Warsaw has an imaginatively designed indoor playground for children. The centerpiece of the play world, whose equipment is made of high-quality spruce wood used especially for indoor use, is a large tree on which there are several tree houses. The houses, which are located on different levels, are connected to each other by net tunnels, ladders and climbing nets. The transparency of the net structures ensures the safety of children and parents alike. This allows the climbing children to maintain eye contact with their parents on the ground. From the upper levels, there are two large winding tunnel slides to get back down again. The large tree is equipped with plank roots, which are modeled on the roots of large trees that are exposed to strong winds.
With additional play elements such as rotating disks, a marble run or "remember-what", the little houses on the ground offer creative opportunities for experiencing the senses. These modules are also easily accessible for smaller children and wheelchair users.
An additional special feature is a small hill underneath the playhouses. A solid steel beam is mounted underneath it, which bridges the heavy loads between the high play structures.
