Play

Äventyrsklubben spreading some love from the stage of Plikta. The one on the right runs an inspiring blog called Göteborgsbloggen.

Today the grand opening of the revived playground of Plikta took place in Slottsskogen, Gothenburg. Plikta has been a place for playing since the nineteen twenties and the latest version of the park is designed by landscape architects at Tyréns. The theme of the new design is supposed to reflect different parts of the surrounding Slottsskogen with water, woods and open fields. I would have liked to see some tall see-through elements dividing the area into smaller spaces, some creative ground modulation and also some spaces protected by roofs. I did like the sculptural feel of some of the wooden structures and obviously I liked the whale happily lying there like a smaller cousin of the one in the nearby Museum of Natural History.
