Robinia Playground with a Submarine Theme

Psagot Playgrounds planned a public robinia wood playground designed to bring a clear identity and an enjoyable play experience to the park. At the heart of the project is a submarine-inspired play structure, supported by additional elements that expand opportunities for climbing, sliding, swinging, and balance play.

The use of robinia wood gives the playground a warm and natural character within the public setting.
