Upshu公园的游乐场位于DC 16th Street Heights附近,为附近的儿童提供了一个非常需要的剧场。 在设计游乐场时,LAB与社区的家长密切合作,为装修的游乐场和公园收集想法。 游乐场的组成涉及周围的城市织物,组织为一系列彼此滑过的矩形; 空间是组成邻里的城市块的象征。 在这些矩形内是新的游戏设备,一个有植被屋顶的凉亭,和一个沙滩游戏区,由一个俏皮的围栏。 操场的直线顺序与使用场石墙,广泛的植物和倾斜的草坪很好地平衡。 随着更新的游乐区,装修提供了改善的访问和周边社区的可见性的游乐场,并提供访问行动不便的人。
Located in the 16th Street Heights neighborhood of DC, the playground at Upshur Park provides a much needed playspace for nearby children. In designing the playground, LAB worked closely with the parents in the community to gather ideas for the renovated playground and park. The composition of the playground relates to the surrounding urban fabric, organized as a series of rectangles that slide past each other; the space is symbolic of the city blocks that make up the neighborhood. Within these rectangles are new play equipment, a pavilion with a vegetated roof, and a sand play area bordered by a playful fence. The rectilinear order of the playground is well balanced against the use of fieldstone walls, extensive plantings and a sloped lawn. Along with an updated play area, the renovation provides the playground with improved access and visibility from the surrounding neighborhood and provides access to those with limited mobility.
