First of all, let’s popularize the concept: unpowered paradise refers to an active experience-type equipment with amusement characteristics without any unnatural external forces and energy. In recent years, amusement equipment in unpowered parks have been favored because of their high safety factor, long service life, low maintenance costs, strong entertainment, good interactivity, and unique user experience compared with amusement equipment in other outdoor parks. More and more investors are pursuing.
Amusement facilities for outdoor sports and unpowered parks were initially popular in European and American countries. With the continuous improvement of the quality of life and the pursuit of health, people's lifestyles and entertainment methods have gradually changed. In recent years, driven by the rapid development of my country's cultural tourism industry, unpowered amusement facilities in theme parks, scenic spots, and commercial real estate supporting areas have gradually increased due to their own characteristics. In such a heat wave, many amusement facilities in unpowered parks began to be born and appeared in people's vision.
There are many amusement equipment in unpowered parks, such as: large drill net crawlers, trampolines, stainless steel slides, sand pool parks, jungle leaps, physical development, etc. The classification of amusement facilities in non-powered parks is generally divided into challenging, interactive and experiential types according to the type of experience.
The rise of unpowered children's parks makes us lament that children's parks are simple, natural, yet happy and interesting. Compared with amusement facilities using various power sources, non-powered amusement facilities are active experience facilities that do not rely on any unnatural external force and energy. They integrate various elements such as climbing, drilling, running and jumping, and are becoming more and more popular among the public.
It is loved by most children and parent-child families, and has also become a hotspot in many attractions and the flashpoint of the entire attraction. For children and parent-child families, non-powered playgrounds allow children to experience and understand nature during play, stimulate their imagination, creativity and cooperation abilities during exploration, and improve their physical fitness during play. Quality and comprehensive ability have been comprehensively improved.
Moreover, the unpowered children's paradise is also conducive to the interaction and communication between parents and children, to enhance parent-child relationship, so that children can improve their motor skills, hands-on ability, thinking ability, communication ability, etc. while playing, and accompany children through a unique experience. happy childhood. For investors, compared with other children's playgrounds, the investment in unpowered playgrounds is relatively small, because it does not require electricity and heat to drive, and the equipment is relatively small, and the play equipment is more abundant.
Today we have selected 5 very creative power-free amusement parks for you. I believe you will scream for these ideas.
This is a super cool project. The Llechwedd cave in Blaenau Ffestiniog, a quarrying town in North Wales, England, has been transformed into the world's largest underground trampoline.
This trampoline world is part of Zip World, an outdoor activity center in North Wales. Staff have installed three sets of giant net trampolines in a huge underground cave 55 meters deep. The giant nets are connected by slides, tunnels and walkways, and colorful lights are reflected on the net. Beautiful gradients make the whole space feel like science fiction.
The underground trampoline project mainly targets parent-child families and young people, but middle-aged and even elderly people who are energetic and in good physical condition often come to experience it. Experiencers need to wear safety helmets and shoe covers, and can jump "online" to their heart's content after being trained by professional staff.
Sean Taylor, designer at Zip World, said: “My business partner had seen huge trampolines in the French jungle, but never an underground cave trampoline, so we’re creating the first underground trampoline world in Wales.”
Industrial relics are scars on the earth and a unique landscape. Mineral development has brought unique landscapes with strong visual impact, and the destroyed ecology, after scientific management and characteristic planning, will serve as a platform for landscape reshaping and become a witness to a fragment of human history. In fact, not only mines, but also karst cave-type destinations have similar resource conditions. However, a single pure sightseeing design has increasingly limited appeal to the public, and will also exacerbate problems such as the homogenization of tourist products in scenic spots and the simplification of income. Developing outdoor experience products based on local conditions to inject vitality into the destination may be one of the ways to revitalize this type of destination.
It was designed by architect Tezuka Architects and is located in a forest at the Hakone-machi Sculpture Forest Museum in Japan. 589 wooden components of various sizes are connected by their own weight, tenons, and piled tenons. The joints are reinforced with wooden wedges. No metal connectors are used, and an oversized mesh climbing device is installed inside the building, allowing children to climb and play to their heart's content while admiring the beauty of traditional log architecture! And the design life can reach about 300 years.
The entire building is visually stunning but structurally complex, and the pavilion's exterior is the largest wooden structure built in Japan for hundreds of years, at 12 meters high and with a total floor area of 528 square meters. With countless engineering problems to solve, one of its more remarkable structural features is the complete absence of metal or mechanical fasteners. In contrast, fine joinery relies entirely on traditional wedges and dowels. Such a complex structure was designed entirely on the computer, using cutting-edge structural analysis developed specifically for the project, which also resulted in a new system of curved joints to overcome the variable properties and load-bearing characteristics of the logs. Data from all the modules was loaded onto a CNC milling machine to shape the 589 wooden parts, before expert carpenters used a crane to lift each piece into place and assemble it by hand using centuries-old joining techniques.
And this net that looks very comfortable is hand-woven by Horiuchi Noriko, a Japanese weaving art master. It is very tough. It is specially designed for children. Children can climb in, roll and jump on the net. In the space as soft as the forest, the boundary of the space completely disappears, and the children play in the net as if lying in the woods.
"The space draws people in like a bonfire, with kids playing in the net like they're the fire, while parents sit around the woods and watch them."
Gulliver Park, located in Valencia, Spain, is based on the British writer Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" in which Gulliver drifted to Lilliput after the ship sank. When he was tired and fell asleep, he was trapped in the city of Lilliput. A huge statue of Gulliver was made as the civilians tied him in place with ropes. The children and the people who come to play are just like the city dwellers in the "Lilliputian", climbing up various "ladders" to explore this behemoth.
Gulliver, which covers an area of 15,000 square meters, is colorful and vivid in shape, full of magical fairy tale colors. He lies entirely on the sand, and his hands, feet, hair, and folds of clothes hide various climbable ladders, slides, and rope ladders. Children and accompanying adults can climb up and down together and have fun.
The design is highly humorous, with Gulliver's towering hat falling to the side of the playground, seemingly casually beside him. Also, in a transcendent curlicue, there is a reclining miniature of Gulliver Park from which visitors can get an idea of what the place is like.
Completed in 1995 on the occasion of the 100th birthday of Swarovski Company, this fantasy land designed by multimedia artist André Heller has become the most popular tourist attraction in Tyrol, Austria, and has received more than 14 million tourists from all over the world. , with a game tower and a playground inside.
It is known as a "realistic fairy tale world" that perfectly combines light and music. The "Alpine" fountain at the entrance, with its eyes shining and waterfalls pouring from its mouth, is one of the most charming parts of the entire exhibition hall.After walking out of the exhibition hall, you can also appreciate the garden art here: the Alpine garden full of rare local flowers and plants, the giant grass labyrinth built by the designer of the Crystal World, etc.
In addition, the playground specially designed for children is also very popular among children. If you are tired, you can go to the Moon Cafe on the second floor to drink tea and sit idle. The "moon"-themed paintings fill the cafe with a rich artistic and leisure atmosphere.
This 'ghost train park' in Lima, Peru is located in a public park in the middle of the city, with the area stretching approximately 1,500 meters from one end to the other, along a grassy median that separates the busy north and south lanes. Come.
Almost all of the rides in the park are made from recycled materials like tires and other auto parts, making it a utopia for recycling enthusiasts. Swings, slides, ziplines and climbing frames, mostly repurposed from old ropes, cables, tires and auto parts, are suspended from soaring concrete columns and steel overhead rail structures.
This park was originally located on a railway. The railway was built in 1986, but it was not completed midway and has been abandoned here. This all changed in 2010, when, in an effort to repurpose abandoned tram tracks, the Basrama team invited local artists to participate in the construction of the site and finally bring it to fruition. This is a highly praised example of reuse of public space, and has been recommended by magazines such as National Geographic and Fast Company. For a decade, it ranked high in any "world's coolest playground" search.
Now, it's a messy and fun world of junk for kids, and the wild use of color and volume on such an exciting scale is certainly exciting.
The park has many colorful play facilities, and the fluorescent painted strips used on the six-meter-high concrete pillars are also very eye-catching. The vibrant pink, yellow, green and orange will make people forget their worries and have fun.
The Ghost Train Park will be a monument to neoliberalism, and while it is far from the most aesthetically pleasing public space, it is undoubtedly the most unique and youthful.
In addition, such as: West Liuxiang Playground in Tokyo, Japan, St. Kilda Children's Amusement Park in Melbourne, Australia, Clemyjontri Playground in Virginia, USA, Hillerod Playground in Germany, Fruit and Scent Playground in Sweden, Blacksland Riverside Park in Sydney, Australia, Spain The children's play area in Boadilla del Monte is a very typical example of "no power play". Due to space limitations, we will not introduce them one by one.
The unpowered playground is a venue that focuses on children and promotes parent-child interaction. Promoting closeness to nature, respecting children's nature, including parent-child interactive entertainment, these factors are the key to attracting families to visit the area. In fact, in addition to the cases we have seen, unpowered children's parks also have many amusement projects that are extremely attractive to children. Although they are "unplugged", they are still very attractive.
