Water Playground Schwäbisch Gmünd

The playground at Schillersteg is mainly geared towards small children and offers them special play opportunities. It is designed as a terraced garden and is divided into a topography of different ramps and levels with a slide, sand / mud and water play area. A flowering shrub garden atmospherically complements the layout.
The topographic layout relies on the fun that young children have overcoming height differences and running on sloping levels. It goes up and down, sometimes on ramps, sometimes over steps and small ladders. On one ramp there are three water jets that can be operated by the children via a pump.
