Top of the kid's wish list!
The adults wanted a circus, but after ´guidance´ from the local children, they were convinced to build an extra large Robinia castle. This new nature playground in Ennepetal, Germany is at the top of the children’s wish list, which may be the reason for its huge success. The castle is filled with unique features that spark the imagination. Local children are amazed by all the opportunities the castle offers and use it for role-play every day. The majestic castle rises high above the surrounding houses and attracts young princes and princesses from the greater town area, has become the focal point for all families in Ennepetal.
It is not just a castle for us or the institution, but really for all of Ennepetal.
Nesrin Goy, Head of the Children’s Department
Role play and thrilling heights
The wooden playground castle is a palace of play that serves everyone. The elevated and ground-level play dens, barred windows and cannons invite dramatic play. This stimulates children’s language and social skills. The unique iron frame net offers a sense of height and thrill, turn-taking, and consideration of others. The steep climb in the open space trains spatial awareness, cross-coordination, and muscle strength. When swinging and passing on the Coconut Rope Bridge children experience their own and others’ movements. This spurs cooperation and helps develop social-emotional skills. The castle is further installed with climbing nets that help children develop cross-body coordination and muscle strength.
