Entry Description

The Surf Playground is situated in Helsingborg, Sweden on the beautiful promenade of the city. The ambition was to create an extensive & spacious playground area, where many could come and enjoy hanging out together. The vibrant, colourful playground emanates summer and fun beach vibes.

Inspired by the ocean, the sculptural centrepiece is a giant Lion's Mane Jellyfish, which is joined by a shark with its jaws wide open, surfboards on springs, a beach house, a wave-shaped runway and a surf van. Beautiful lighting features inside the play structures make them even more magical after sunset.
