bijlmerpark

In the past years, the Bijlmermeer was subject of an urban restructuring process, including the Bijlmerpark. One of its new parts is the 'sports- and play-esplanade', a large playarea designed by Carve in collaboration with Marie-Laure Hoedemakers. The esplanade embraces different elements; a ballgame-area, a playing strip, the 'King Crawler', a skatepool and a water- and sandplay area. A series of yellow frames and bright pink (safety) surface tie together the playarea, ropebridges, lookout tower and swing-field to one large playing strip. The combination of playelements, the location in the park and the opportunities for a wide range of ages attract people from all over the city.
