Landscape Architecture: Rainer Schmidt Landschaftsarchitekten
Location: BUGA garden show 2005 / Munich / Germany
Playgrounds usually consist of pre-fabricated elements, which are A-Z tested and thousand times certified by various organizations; well that is the easiest (but not cheapest) way of doing it. Prof. Schmidt designed a landscape, without typical playground elements just with combining two material / colors (tartan and grass) and with modification of terrain. Landscape as it is provokes children to play and jump around and up and down.
Aerial photo of the playground was taken by Klaus Leidorf, check his other photos on his blog or personal website.
Very cool, there is a place like this in Quebec, Canada. The project is Safe Zone, 7th International Gardens Festival, Reford Gardens, Grand-Metis.
The design is by StoSS Landscape Urbanism.

I think this is incredible, I would also like to know what material the red bit is, I think playgrounds should be like this every where.
