Hang-outs, Richter Spielgerate






As I've mentioned before, the presence of tweens and teens on playgrounds is rarely facilitated within the design, and often seems to be actively discouraged. Skate parks are an obvious attempt to address their recreational needs, but the integration of hang-out spaces into existing facilities is a good approach as well. I especially like the simple addition of the large decks to a standard playground build (first photo). The structure in the last photo is specifically called a 'sitting fence'.
