Tårnlegepladsen in Fælledparken
The playground’s overall idea is to use one of Copenhagen’s characteristics; the towers and spires that make up the city’s skyline and create a distinctive, challenging and different playground. Five towers: the Marble Church’s dome, the Round Tower, the City Hall Tower, Our Saviour’s Church’s tower and the Royal Exchange Tower make up the playground’s architectonic icons as a framework for play at several levels.
The playground designed to offer a great diversity in play opportunities for children at different ages. Furthermore, we have emphasised spaces for parents and kindergarten teachers, seeing that the success of a playground often relies on the grown ups finding the place attractive as well.
The natural centre of the playground is on the southwest facing side of the existing building. Here users can find place for stay and toilet facilities, both when the building is staffed during the summer half-year and when the local institutions use it during winter.
The project design is based on ‘Fondsprojektet’ and carried out by Bisgaard Landscape Architects ApS. LYTT Architecture owns the design copyright.
