Altmühlpromenade in Gunzenhausen
On the western edge of the old town of Gunzenhausen, south-west of Nuremberg, the “Platz für Alle” (“Place for Everyone”) was created at the end of 2024 along the Altmühl promenade – a barrier-free playground offering a wide range of play opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. In the heart of the green Altmühl floodplain, an unused area was transformed into a lively meeting place for all generations, also accessible to people with limited mobility or visual impairments.
In the large sand area, there are various pieces of climbing equipment for toddlers, including a 1.30-m-high platform with an HDPE slide, accessible via plateau steps and a suspension bridge or a ramp. More active children can reach the slide pedestal by climbing across the Spider’s Web, a transition net and a Chessboard Bridge.
Two additional areas with impact-absorbing surfacing expand the range of activities. One of these features four different swings: a comfortable nest swing which invites children to swing together, as well as a multi-user swing with various seats for different needs.
The large spatial net is connected via a net tunnel to a smaller playhouse, from which you can whizz down a tunnel slide. Beneath the net, four pendulum seats invite children to experience the gentle movements of the net – without even having to climb up themselves.
