Design & Inspiration
An inviting jungle trail lushes within the heart of the city. The playscape mimics the environment at a nature trail, where the residents can enjoy the perks of nature’s lush greenery and a walk on the timber bridge as though it was a hiking trail within their residence.
Inspiration
The playground takes inspiration from the scenic charm of a nature trail. It includes elements such as a wooden bridge that replicates the landscape encountered during a hike. The equipment is intentionally designed to stimulate and involve children, promoting physical activity and imaginative play in an environment that emulates the marvels of nature.
Proposed play elements
The play elements found within nature trails imitate the inherent characteristics of trees, including their structures and textures. By replicating these natural properties, the playground encourages imaginative play that not only sparks creativity but also cultivates a profound bond with the natural world, fostering a deep and meaningful connection with nature.
Design mood
Designed to seamlessly merge with the natural surroundings, the nature trail playground skillfully incorporates natural elements and materials, resulting in an engaging and immersive experience. By utilizing native flora, earthy colors, and organic textures, the playground fosters a deep connection with nature, captivating visitors of all ages.
