This particularly applies to large and important projects," says Corocord’s General Manager. This came as no surprise to Torsten Frank: "The Baltic region is a market determined to meet high Western European standards. An especially responsible approach to the trees existing here was first priority to ensure that further generations can play, have fun and relax in harmony with nature here - the woodland was to remain untouched as far as possible, and this made the project particularly challenging.Ī further prerequisite was that the play area should conform to EN 1176, even though this international standard is only recommended at present in Latvia and the other Baltic countries. By 2005 the planners had designed the ensemble of rope structures and other play equipment for an unused area in dense pine woodland. Planning began in 2004 under the direction of the architect Arnis Dimins and his team from the Sia Substance office. With the “Dzintaru Mezaparks”, this spa town, steeped in tradition, has taken another important step towards achieving this target.įocus during the realisation of the adventure and play area in “Dzintaru Mezaparks” was on the harmony between old and new. “It is a key factor that we can offer our guests the largest selection possible of different activities”, stated the First Vice Major of Jurmala City, Aigars Tampe in 2006. Guests to the old spa centre with its 32 kilometres of beach are increasingly from Western Europe. Between 20 the number of overnight stays in Jurmala rose by 25 percent to nearly 125,000 and this not only in summer – the classic bathing season – but in winter and spring as well. He sees the project in Latvia as a role model for future facilities in Eastern Europe - the spa town is already exemplary due to its success with tourism over the past years. “Jurmala has realised that it is worth investing in high-quality playground equipment for this kind of project in order to consistently improve the holiday-resort infrastructure,” said a satisfied Torsten Frank, building engineer and General Manager of the Corocord Raumnet GmbH in Berlin. The structure replaced older equipment at the park's playground.The best example of this is the “Dzintaru Mezaparks” in Jurmala, Latvia, where during the last 12 months an exceptional playground has been created using equipment from the German Corocord and Kompan companies – including spacenet constructions and rope bridges.īoth the location in an old pine forest as well as the facilities including innovative rope play equipment made by the spacenet manufacturer Corocord from Berlin, single out this playground from other concepts of a similar kind. The Spacenet, made by playground supplier KOMPAN, is a hexagonal mesh structure that allows kids ranging in age to climb and balance, the release said. She added that the move was a great way to jump-start efforts to get more local art into parks. Hundreds of kids helped paint the 8-by-8-foot mural, which was installed under the footbridge at the park - the city's most visited, according to a recent survey.įranklin City Parks Director Lisa Clayton said in a statement that the mural was a "wonderful way to showcase the creative talent we have in Williamson County and Franklin." The theme was "Franklin, past, present and future." The design for the mural was the compilation of work by 13 students who submitted art at the first Franklin Kids Arts Festival Tennessee earlier this year. Children headed to Franklin's Pinkerton Park can now check out a new art installation and a 12-foot tall "Spacenet," officials announced in a news release Thursday.
