INSPIRATIONAL PLAYGROUND CONCEPT

The Chestnuts

Concept design for a natural wooden playground - The Chestnuts
'The two Chestnuts offer a variety of physical and social play for children from the age of two. The connecting coconut rope bridge makes crossing from one to the other Chestnut a swaying joy ...'

Play Designer, KOMPAN Design Studio

The Chestnuts - LARGE

Like playing in the forest floor

The staircase allows easy access to the platforms of the small Chestnut, with a small slide and further access to the larger Chestnut via the coconut bridge. The large and chunky coconut rope slopes upward and will sway gently as the children balance their way up or down the bridge, naturally making them use their balance and core strength to stay stable on the sloping rope. Arriving in the large Chestnut gives access to the wide slide and the fireman’s pole.

Yes! All KOMPAN playgrounds are built to withstand decades of weather and usage.

Our engineers carefully calculate the static strength of each playground structure, and our production uses only the highest quality materials. Fifty years of testing through play around the world has given us extensive knowledge on how to achieve extreme durability. This leads to minimal downtime and a low total cost of ownership. For generations of children, this means endless hours of play.

Is this playground safe and certifiable?

Yes! All KOMPAN inspirational playground equipment is safe and certified - as is every product we have designed for more than 50 years.

How can I install a playground like this?

At KOMPAN we turn ideas into reality - all the way from defining the playground concept until the playground is installed.

Building a playground is not child’s play. It is a major construction undertaking. From clearing the area for foundation to finishing the site, it involves heavy equipment, extensive materials, complex products and expert knowledge. All these factors must be precisely coordinated to avoid delays. Our expert teams have done it many times and are happy to take the load off your shoulders!
