Enchanting natural playground
As part of the renovation of an existing playground, we worked closely with Timberplay England to create a natural playground that is exciting for young and old children as well as teenagers. Some existing play elements were integrated into the new design. A tower combination, a twin seesaw, bouncy plates, a dwarf hill and a spacious sand play area were added to the playground with its many mature trees.
Mountain Lake Park
San Francisco / USA / 2017
First Richter climbing forest in the USA
The Richter Playground in the idyllic Mountain Lake Park in San Francisco attracts numerous visitors due to its location alone. In a spacious park area with a lake and lots of old trees, Richter Spielgeräte GmbH has designed numerous attractive play areas and equipped them with high-quality equipment. Several jumping boards arranged one behind the other, high swings and a large climbing forest - the first of its kind in the USA - encourage movement and action. A toddler area features animal-shaped petting stones and a long wooden caterpillar, which is equipped with additional exciting elements such as colorful "windows", a marble run and rotating discs. Younger children in particular can immerse themselves in role play here. And at the conferences, older children and adults can also learn exciting things about the reproduction of sound and sound over greater distances.
World Towers
Mumbai / Indien / 2019
Ships in the middle of India's metropolis
There has been a spacious playground in the center of the Indian metropolis of Mumbai since 2018. The water play area with various gutter and damming elements as well as Archimedean screws invites young and old children to play with the elements. You can immerse yourself in role play on the billowing ship and the small sailing boat, you can sit, lie and chat on the various hammocks, and the combination of huts is ideal for climbing and hiding. However, the attractive focus of the play area is undoubtedly the two large ships with sand play areas in the bow. Here sailors, captains and pirates can let off steam to their hearts' content. Another highlight is the arched bridge, which is visible from afar and invites you to balance and connects the play areas. What is particularly exciting is that the playground was installed on a roof terrace on the 6th floor of a building. The project was therefore particularly technically complex and a challenge in terms of statics and ground anchoring.Waldorf School of Orange County
Kalifornien / USA / 2016
Playing in the playground
The Waldorf school in the Californian town of Orange County has had a very special school playground since 2016. Two high double swings standing next to each other allow four children to swing with and next to each other at the same time. The climbing structure, which is very suitable for schoolyards and on which several children can have fun climbing and balancing at the same time, is complemented by a platform with an attached tunnel slide. Here you can also climb and run around, or just enjoy the view, sit in the shade under the platform floor and immerse yourself in role play.Odds Farm Park
High Wycombe / England / 2016
Popular destination for families
Odds Farm Park, the most popular family day out destination in High Wycombe, has expanded its play offering with the addition of a brand new Richter play area to complement the existing Richter water and sand play areas. As one of the largest farm attractions in the UK, Odds Farm regularly receives top ratings on Trip Advisor. Continuous new investment ensures that visitors return regularly. The management tries to expand the offer every year, and this year they decided to create an extensive adventure play area in collaboration with Richter and Timberplay. An area for toddlers developed by Richter and Timberplay was opened in 2013, followed by a sand and water play area in 2014. Thanks to the greater challenges offered by the new play equipment, the target group is being expanded to include older children.
The complex combination of play equipment has created a play focus with crossovers, rope bridges and slides, which should inspire children of all ages. There are also climbing walls, micro seesaws, bouncy boards and hexagonal swings. All of the equipment was selected with the large number of guests who visit Odds Farm on Sundays and public holidays in mind.
"The play area is extremely popular with the children, the feedback from visitors is excellent and the 'wow' factor is just as we imagined it would be."
Odds Farm Park was established 21 years ago near Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire in the south of England and, following annual expansions, is now one of the UK's largest farm attractions, attracting more than 200,000 visitors a year. The park is one of the most important members of the National Farm Attractions Network (NFAN).

Smale Riverfront Park
Cincinnati / USA / 2014
Richter Spielgeräte integrates the city's heraldic animal into an extensive playground along the Ohio River.
When the city of Cincinnati in Ohio/USA awarded the contract for the planning and implementation of the "Smale Riverfront Park" playground on the Ohio River to Richter Spielgeräte, one of the requests was to incorporate Cincinnati's heraldic animal as a theme. The fact that it is a flying pig, of all things, has a long tradition: in the decades after the city was founded in 1814, Cincinnati made a name for itself primarily with the production of cured pork.With the "Oinkithopter" play structure, Richter created a winged pig that can be climbed using a climbing net and whose belly is just as suitable as a place to relax and retreat as it is as a space for children's role-playing games.
Around this attractive attraction and in front of the city skyline, a world of play has been created on a spacious green area on the riverbank that will captivate children of all ages.
In addition to a wide variety of water play equipment such as Archimedean screws, numerous channels, weirs and pumps, where children can have fun pumping and guiding the wet element, especially in summer, wide, undulating slope slides invite them to have special fun and older children and teenagers in particular can test their sense of balance and dexterity on the rope structures that connect various play modules at lofty heights.
Several children can sit on the large turntable at the same time and either experience gentle movements or give themselves over completely to the centrifugal force. Of course, good balance is required for everything.
Jubilee Gardens
London / England /2022
Landmark of a busy area with different levels of risk
The South Bank is one of London's most visited areas and visitors from all over the world flock here to enjoy the attractions. In the shadow of the London Eye and just around the corner from Big Ben is the Jubilee Gardens playground.
The playground is a clear landmark and offers the ideal place for families and children to slow down. There is plenty of seating for adults who need a break and a huge climbing combination that challenges children and teenagers to climb from one end to the other. The equipment has been selected to accommodate many children at once and also offers different levels of risk so that children can find their own limits. The playground was opened as part of the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2012 and was designed by the renowned Rotterdam architectural firm West 8. In the summer of 2022, the playground was equipped with additional Richter play equipment such as a bouncy flower and a play ship.
