Service point description
Ruoholahti playground is the world's first known computer-themed playground. Children can get acquainted with the world of computers and programming in the refurbished park while playing. Playground Ruoholahti is located on the southern shore of the Ruoholahti canal and is part of the Ruoholahdenpuisto park. The site is primarily intended for children from daycare age to 6th-graders. Older visitors have also been considered in the design. The highlight of the playground will be the computer-themed special playground equipment designed and implemented based on ideas by the author and illustrator Linda Liukas. The main playground equipment is a two-piece play tower representing a computer processor. The multifunctional tower for older children includes climbing and sliding activities. A carousel and swings will be placed near the play tower. The park's southern play area is suitable for all ages. It includes balancing boards, in-ground trampolines, a keyboard auditorium and a platform shaped like a phone screen. For infants and toddlers, there are computer-themed spring rockers, a sandbox shaped like a game controller, a playhouse and a climbing apparatus. The playground equipment are designed by award-winning Danish playground equipment manufacturer Monstrum.
