When dealing with a structure that has children playing around and on it there has been taken some safety issues in consideration when desig-ning. The primary safety consideration where hight of the construction and the ground material surrounding the structure. But also the size of the holes in the pattern of the climbing wall and the shape of those holes, when having open holes in a place where children climb, the shape of the

holes has to be designed in a way so that clothes and especially a hood string do not get caught in the hole. This could lead to strangula-tion and death. The maximum hight of the structure is 2000mm. This is to minimize the risk of personal injury when kids climb on the side wall. There has been placed shock absorbent material around the areas where the kids are playing, the material is sand and has a depth of 200mm and a distant of 1800mm from the climbing wall.

The ”Cave” area is a place for the toddlers and other smaller kids, the entrance to the cave is 1500mm tall and would not appeal to an adult.

The seating/reading area is divide up into 5 benches were some are situated in shadow area during the summer. The area is the center of the construction, and provides the adults with and overview of the playground and a look though the leaf pattern to the larger kids.

The view from inside the Reading-boulder towards the forrest-playground thru the leaf pattern.

The climbing-wall have a connection to the forrest-playground, this area is for the kids that are able to take care of themselves, the wall reach a max hight of 2000mm and the surrounding area I covert with sand to act as protection if the kids should fall.
