Marine-Themed Playground for a Public Science Park

The uniqueness of this project lies in the way the marine concept was built into the entire playground. The theme appears in the central structure, in the graphic panels, in the cladding, and in the selection of play elements, creating a consistent experience across the different areas.

The submarine gives children a clear point of entry into the story. The rope whale brings movement and challenge, adding a more adventurous layer to the design. The combination of vertical play, ground-level themed elements, swings, and rubber play forms creates a varied but unified playground.

The client wanted a playground based on a sea concept, with the central structure adapted to a marine design language.

The requirements included custom prints and themed cladding, a submarine as an important play element, an adventurous rope whale, and a multi-age layout with a wide range of play opportunities.

The playground was planned across three areas, each contributing a different part of the overall experience. The design needed to organise the play zones clearly while keeping the feeling of one connected marine story.

The main planning task was to balance different types of activity: a large central play structure, a themed submarine, a challenging rope whale, a rubber hill, swings, and additional elements. The sea concept helped connect these different pieces into one readable space, giving every feature a role while keeping the overall design calm, clear, and coherent.

The design concept draws from the world of the sea, but keeps the language light, playful, and accessible. The custom prints and marine cladding on the central structure add depth and character, turning the structure into part of the story itself.

The submarine introduces a sense of journey and exploration, while the rope whale adds physical challenge through climbing and movement. Together with the rubber hill, swings, and supporting elements, the playground offers children different ways to play, imagine, move, and discover.

The marine theme gives the playground a strong identity. It becomes a place with atmosphere and narrative, where children can move from one feature to the next as if they are travelling through a small sea adventure.
