Swing park
Rotenburg an der Fulda: Under ancient beech and
chestnut trees in the fairy-tale palace garden in roten-
burg an der Fulda, Germany’s first swing park is open for
children to swing together. Eight swings with eleven diffe-
rent swinging seats are connected via an accessible route.
The red posts indicate swings designed for children and
adults, while the blue posts indicate swings that can be
used by people with physical disabilities and with the assi-
stance of others. The swinging motion back and forth and
a slight breeze on the face creates a relaxed feeling of free-
dom. Children, families, friends and colleagues can move
in the fresh air, let their thoughts wander, laugh together
and have fun, whether after school, during lunch breaks,
after work or in the evening.
