\"Boulder<\/div>\n

A series of 3D-printed<\/a> concrete boulders create bridges, tunnels and planters at Boulder Park, a playground<\/a> in Shandong province, China<\/a>, designed by Xisui Design<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The activity spaces for all ages sit within a wider, 13,000-square-metre community space in Jinang, which contains several zones of landscaped areas, lawns and playgrounds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Within the southern section of this park, Shanghai-based Xisui Design<\/a> created three distinct areas \u2013 a water park, boulder playground and woodland park \u2013 that combine natural elements such as rocks and logs with cave-like play structures in 3D printed concrete.<\/p>\n

“By blending natural materials with modern technology, we aimed to create an immersive space that sparks children’s curiosity and supports physical development,” design director Hu Yihao told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“In this design, boulders transcend mere decorative elements to become organic components of play functions.”<\/p>\n

“Those in the sandpit are transformed into climbing structures, stones in the stream form the core of water play installations, and the most innovative rocky cave exploration spaces are realised through advanced 3D concrete printing technology,” he added.<\/p>\n

Connected by winding paths, the central area of the park contains the large 3D printed boulders, which sit atop an orange surface interspersed with large rocks, timber benches, a sand pit and swings.<\/p>\n

For the largest printed structure, a bridge-like form creates slides above and a cave-like shelter beneath, while opposite, smaller boulders incorporate crawling tunnels for children and metal ear and speaking trumpets.<\/p>\n
