Jaworznickie Planty in Jaworzno
RS+ Robert Skitek
Situation
The project included designing a water playground with public greeneries land at the former coal mine terrains of Jawrzno, a city in the south of Poland with almost 100,000 inhabitants.
Design
The design by RS + Robert Skitek sets up a group of rounded plazas merging with greenery and connected with streams flowing down to the central part.
Water and lights
The water playground is situated in the focal point, surrended by green hills. It is recessed regard to the sorrounding alleys level.
In the evening, the playground, like the entire complex, is illuminated. This considerably increases the number of visitors and makes Jaworznickie Planty a meeting place for everyone who likes to be outside in summer.
Shelter
For the children, who play here or mostly rather romp, this results in a protected area, which is shielded from the other areas of the park and hardly perceptible for passing walkers.
Footbath
Playground is a entwined with shallow stream, acting as footbath pool. Floors pattern refers to sprilling water and makes a background for colorful water toys.
Technology and toilets
A technical building with toilets is hidden inside one of the green hills alongside the main alley. Of course, this also is a blessing in the vicinity of children's playgrounds.
Recreational areas
Around the water playground there are benches and seats for parents. That helps them taking care for their playing children. Unusual shapes of curved benches create a green and quiet places, perfect for a resting, meeting with friends and looking at the sky laying on the hanging nets.
We did this.
