Danish pupils enjoy brand new interactive
playground designed by VEGA Landskab
Located in the Rebild Municipality, northern Denmark, Skørping School has
created an interactive playground made from sustainable Kebony wood.
T
he project was selected
as one of the winners in
a campaign by Danish
Realdania, with an
emphasis on encouraging the
students to be more energetic,
particularly those who normally
lead less active lives.
The venture, headed up by
Danish landscape architect
firm VEGA Landskab, perfectly
complements the natural
setting of Skørping School,
encouraging participation and
learning amongst students and

the local community through an
active interaction with nature.
During the planning process,
a thorough consultation was
conducted, with members of
the community, staff and pupils
of the school, and a number of
local stakeholders invited to
discuss various aspects of the
project based on their interests
and the functions they needed
in their everyday life in order to
make the playground attractive
to both the students and the
local community around it.
