In the wake of a competition, the district office of Hamburg Wandbek commissioned the Zimmer.Obst company in the Spring of 2012 with the manufacture and assembly of an adventure playground that takes up the “Uncle Tom´s Cabin“ theme.
The “Uncle Tom´s Cabin“ theme was chosen as part of a survey that gathered input from local children and youths. We took up this theme throughout the entire playground. This was done, for example, by designing a jungle path with rope-play and balancing opportunities, creating animal paw prints on wooden posts, a balancing snake and a jungle path with a tiger head. Other special touches to the playground design is equipment representing a jungle telephone and, of course, the “Uncle Tom“ cabin itself. A stand up roundabout together with diverse springers completes our design.
This exciting adventure playground – complete with carefully thought-out details – was turned over to the city in the Fall of 2012.
