10 Awesome Playgrounds That Will Make You Want To Be A Kid Again

10. Brumleby Playground - Copenhagen, Denmark

The Brumleby neighbourhood was developed in the late 1800s in Copenhagen as one of the earliest forms of low income housing in Denmark. The area was renovated and awarded the Europa Nostra Award in recognition of the neighbourhood’s efforts. MONSTRUM, quite possibly the world’s best playground designers, were commissioned to build a playground in the area. They looked to the surrounding homes as inspiration and constructed a topsy-turvy version of the adjacent architecture.

The playground sports three houses, a baker’s shop and ice cream stand. Climbing walls, see-saws and a suspension bridge add to the exciting play space. There’s also a “floor-is-lava” snake, and, the surface around the houses is cast rubber for safety; so all of those knee scrapes that sent you to kicking and screaming to peroxide washes won’t be an issue.

This attention to detail probably explains why Denmark’s capital city is one of the happiest on Earth.
