Gold Rush

Design idea of a natural playground with goldminer theme

Play Solution

The old gold mine from the past is still standing. The natural wood material stands as a contrast in the new city and reminds you of the history. This theme fits into all kinds of different contexts. The varied areas, play equipment and surfaces invite different activity levels and different play scenarios. This makes the playground appealing for children of different age groups. Dig in the sand and rinse the sand away in the water to find small gold pieces. The Gold Rush theme will inspire children for dramatic play, which stimulates language development and social interaction.
