A tough playground for a though climate
Bergen, Norway has more rainy days than any other city in the world. In fact, it rains 240 days per year. That’s two days out of every three! Espira Daycare Centre in Bergen wished for a playground that would delight the kids and be tough enough to withstand the rough climate.
They also wanted something that would complement the beautiful nature that surrounded the daycare centre. The landscape architects were drawn towards KOMPAN’s natural playgrounds in Robinia. Robinia is an environmentally sustainable and durable hardwood that is the core material used in KOMPAN’s nature playgrounds. Now, several wet seasons later, the wooden playground is still standing strong, attracting the young of Bergen and looking as good as it did on day one.
It's constantly wet, but there is no hint of rot at all. This is one of the great features of robinia. It's perfect for wet climates.
