The Rocks Playground is part of a trio of playgrounds, including The Meadows and Forest Playground, each with their own unique theme and separated by flooring level. With large asymmetrical boulders as the main attraction, children can enjoy an adventurous and thrilling experience as they explore the play elements, such as a wobbly rope bridge and steep rock wall.
01
Design & Inspiration
The bidadari playgrounds are scattered over 6 locations and 3 floors. We suggest to create an over arching theme that joins all playgrounds together. While every playground will have its own theme and design, it all connects to the total concept. Reflecting the bidadari community gardens and the abundance of nature in the area, we propose a concept that reflects the habitats of a garden. The location of the playground matches with the habitat it is reflecting.
Inspiration
Inspired by the rugged terrain and natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, the rock playground's design utilizes large boulders as primary play elements. Its aim is to challenge and stimulate children's physical abilities while fostering a sense of exploration and adventure. It's a space that encourages kids to connect with nature and develop their imagination through play.
Proposed play elements
The play elements are intentionally crafted to resemble natural rock formations, featuring large, asymmetrical boulders for children to discover and explore. The design mimics the properties found in nature, creating an immersive and stimulating play experience that encourages kids to engage with their surroundings.
Design mood
Experience an exciting adventure within the rock playground by climbing the grips and crossing the wobbly rope bridge. This stimulating play experience challenges children's physical abilities while fostering a sense of exploration and adventure. It's a fun and exhilarating way to develop motor skills and build confidence.
