Monheim am Rhein now has its very own jungle! When the former playground in Wilhelm-Leuschner-Stra\u00dfe started showing its age, it was replaced by a brand new climbing playground with an exciting jungle theme. The redesign of the playground, located in the southern part of a site measuring over 47,000\u00a0square feet, was influenced by the pre-existing stock of trees surrounding it. When a public meeting was held, the \u201cjungle\u201d theme was the preferred choice of the local children and youths.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was our goal to create as many exciting opportunities for play and movement as possible,\u201d says Fritz-Ulrich Axt, responsible for playgrounds at Monheim District Council. \u201cSome people might recall these from the old Tarzan films, but, bearing safety in mind, it was done in such a way as to prevent too many trees and bushes being uprooted in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just like Tarzan, children can now climb up into the heights through\u00a0various types of climbing and balancing apparatus, a suspension bridge and two tree houses, thereby discovering the seemingly dangerous jungle world.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The new playground\u2019s biggest draw is a combined play structure from Berliner\u2019s Greenville product line. The central mast play structure\u2019s spatial net, held firmly in place by a five-way tensioning system, enables children to climb up into tree house\u00a0Boo<\/a>, which is attached to the central mast play structure about 15 feet off the ground. A net tunnel leads directly to tree house\u00a0Trii<\/a>. Here, children can relax and catch their breath in a safe den\u00a0before speeding back down to earth via a stainless steel, open slide.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Once on the ground, having tackled various elements of the low-level rope course in the rope jungle, children can climb into the\u00a0wasps\u2019 nest<\/a>. This ball-like net is manufactured from a special tensile rope, which ensures that it maintains its round shape\u00a0even if weighed down with a heavy load. The low-level rope course continues on the other side of the footpath, where further challenges await, such as a swaying bridge and a wobbling walkway that intersects it, not to mention a climbing net incorporating a step-through hole.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The two Lianas, in the form of two swinging ropes dangling from curved posts, are an absolute innovation. The goal is to use the lianas to swing your way from stump to stump without falling into the sand below. This offers an enticing challenge for older children in particular.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Although wood might be the most obvious building material springing to mind at the mention of the theme \u201cjungle,\u201d in the case of Monheim\u2019s jungle playground, a conscious decision was taken to use other materials. Steel was employed in combination with rope and bamboo, ensuring an increased life span for the equipment, since this prevents the wood\u2019s inevitable turning green over time. \u201cI didn\u2019t want a green layer to start forming on the wooden timbers after a short time,\u201d explained Mr Axt, \u201csince this quickly develops into the early stages of wood rot.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Remaining true to the jungle theme, the curved steel posts were painted green, and were decorated with theme-specific cut-outs, such as palm leaves, a monkey face and a frog, to name but a few. Thanks to the highly accurate CNC machinery used at Berliner Seilfabrik, any motif can be cut to order. This allows for the creation of playgrounds with highly specific themes.<\/p>\n

The remainder of the play structure\u2019s components were also produced in natural colors. In particular, the bamboo panels covering the playhouses complement the jungle theme.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The new playground has been rounded off with two moving elements from Berliner\u2019s URBAN DESIGN product line, the\u00a0Monkey Jibe<\/a>\u00a0and a nest-swing known as the\u00a0Bowl Swing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the inauguration ceremony, it was clear that the new jungle playground was already a hit with the children. Feedback from local residents was that the playground offered challenges for older and younger children alike. Not only that: despite its ostensible \u201cjungle\u201d theme, the playground\u2019s design and execution is sufficiently low-key that children feel free to exercise their fantasy and come up with play ideas of their own.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
