Henri Georges Park Playground, Brussels, Suede36, 2008











'To play, to dream as well'

The new playground at Henri Georges Park in Brussels by Suede 36 includes features designed for dreaming as well as playing: carpets of color, a red-box maze, a roof-shaped cloud, and a giant Gulliver that has become a favorite play companion. More photos on their website.


I was also pleased to note the inclusion of three taps of running water; the lack of public drinking water in Europe generally, but particularly on playgrounds where children can quickly overheat is always an astonishment to this thirsty American. If ever I encounter a grumpy European on my travels, I figure they're just dehydrated.
