Playground 'Valley of a Thousand Waters' Maximilianpark Hamm Redesign and expansion of an existing play area into a water play landscape

Since its creation for the 1st State Garden Show in NRW in 1984, Maximilianpark in Hamm has remained essentially unchanged. Its care and maintenance is still at garden show level today, and playing in the park has always had a particularly high priority.

As one of the first major changes in the park, the Valley of 1000 Waters consciously takes up the existing park qualities and develops them further.

A variety of new play activities are created to complement the existing ones. Water spirits, whose conundrums no one can escape, a dragon that spits not fire but water mist and guards a water tower from which water pours out at irregular intervals, Mesopotamia, a spooky labyrinth of tunnels, water mud surfaces, a tower over a bridge, to which you can only get through daring balancing acts - all this and much more invites since the spring of 2006 to be explored.
