In memory of the great composer Johann Sebastian Bach, the playground on the street named after him has been redesigned in Monheim. SIK-Holz\u00ae consultant Martin Heum\u00fcller designed a small wooden orchestra in response to the city of Mohnheim\u2019s call for tenders for the redesign.<\/p>\n
At the centre is a combined play equipment with the look of a big contrabass for climbing over, crawling into it and sliding down. Climbing ropes in the form of score lines connect the contrabass with a piano keyboard for balancing. The combination offers ever new starting points for activity trails and is at the same time a retreat with little hiding places.<\/p>\n
A small sand construction site in the form of two large drums offers creative and persistent play opportunities. For reasons of preserving a peaceful neighbourhood, the lack of a sounding board will unfortunately not allow for a musical drum experience. The drums are rather used as baking surfaces. Sand elevator, chute and sieve support playing with the element sand. Flutes and a clarinet also belong to the small playground orchestra. Two to four children or even adults can seesaw together on the clarinet. At the same time, the clarinet is also a place to sit and observe. On the swing between the flutes even very young children can independently swing back and forth<\/p>\n
The concept had been agreed as part of the Playground Commission with representatives from politics, youth parliament and local residents. The sturdy green framework and a robust seating arrangement make the playground an attractive family meeting place in the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
