Hidden in the Brussels neighborhood of Wedding is one of Berlin's most versatile green spaces with a playground that appeals equally to children of various age groups: water play, climbing courses, and hammocks on a sunbathing lawn make Zeppelinplatz a true neighborhood meeting point.
Playground at Zeppelinplatz: Planned with children, made for children
The playground at Zeppelinplatz in Wedding is not a randomly placed climbing frame. Real participation is behind it: children from the neighborhood and surrounding daycares were allowed to express their wishes before the renovation began. The collected ideas flowed directly into the planning of landscape architect Birgit Teichmann. This resulted in a playground that was actually built according to the needs of its users.
As part of the federal-state program ‘Active Centres’, the entire Zeppelinplatz was redesigned starting in 2015. The first construction phase included the redesign of the playground with water features and a fenced sunbathing lawn with a dog ban. The second construction phase added a youth area and a renovated soccer field. The official opening took place in October 2017.
Water pump, climbing courses, and hammocks in the greenery
What makes the playground in Wedding so attractive is its diversity. There is a huge climbing frame with two climbing walls and several climbing stages on bark mulch, a nest swing, swings, trampolines with a bouncy surface, and a water area with a sandpit and water pump. This caters to almost every age group.
Spatial separation creates several areas, so the hustle and bustle is well distributed. There is also a large water playground where children can create small fountains by shifting their weight. Surrounded by lush greenery and shaded by large trees, the playground offers pleasantly cool conditions, especially on hot summer days. Those with toddlers will find plenty of space to linger in the sandpit and on the sunbathing lawn with hammocks. In short: This Berlin playground is definitely worth a trip.
