Rolling, climbing, laughing – and plenty of “cooking” too!

Spoons out, imagination on: in the heart of Hamburg-Stellingen (Eimsbüttel district), an extraordinary play space has been created on around 4,000 m² after intensive planning and a lengthy implementation phase. The “Soup Pot Playground” owes its name to a very special location – it sits on top of the A7 motorway deck – and it feels just as special as it sounds.

Movement, creativity and adventure come together here. Whether on wheels, on foot or climbing: children and young people find a wide range of opportunities to try things out, let off steam and be active together. The offering is complemented by lovingly designed play equipment made from robinia wood, instantly sparking the imagination. At the heart of the playground is a large climbing and hideaway beet with seating – a meeting place to catch one’s breath, observe and keep on playing.

All around, there is playing, swinging, balancing and splashing: in the sand kitchen, children “cook,” crawl through cucumbers and swing on vegetable spring rockers. The long climbing and balancing course challenges skill and courage, while the zip line and basket swing provide speed, floating moments and feelings of pure joy – a real highlight for young and old alike.

The result is a modern, diverse play and activity space that invites everyone to join in, explore and come back again. At the opening, many children arrived with skates and scooters, joined by the head of the Eimsbüttel district office, Ms Böseler – and immediately turned the playground into what it is meant to be: lively, loud and full of joy.
