On the banks of the Hempstead Bay<\/strong> On Long Island, a new urban quarter has been built on a former industrial site. Garvies Point<\/strong> was created. A promenade, flats, restaurants and open spaces stretch along an estuary - including a playground that has quickly become the area's trademark: the Garvies Point Playground<\/strong> with the unmistakable Dalben tower from Kaiser & K\u00fchne<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place - living, promenade and playground on Hempstead Bay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Garvies Point is located in Glen Cove, NY<\/strong>, directly on the water. The development of the site has been a topic of discussion in the city for decades: a new, mixed-use neighbourhood with flats, parks and access to the bay was created from what was once a heavily polluted industrial wasteland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The playground is located on the edge of a large lawn, with a view across the waterfront to the Glen Cove Creek<\/strong>. Behind it are wooded areas, while the surrounding residential buildings give the place the character of a small village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The task - a playground as a visible landmark<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The landscape architecture office MPFP<\/strong> was deliberately not looking for a \u201etypical\u201c urban playground with the usual mix of swings, slides and climbing frames for Garvies Point. What was wanted was a striking vertical play equipment<\/strong>, which is visible from everywhere in the neighbourhood and magically attracts children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The planning team therefore turned to European manufacturers - with the aim of finding an unusual tower that stands out from the ordinary and gives the neighbourhood its own playful signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our solution - Dalben tower and play equipment from Kaiser & K\u00fchne<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

About our long-standing partner Goric Playgrounds<\/strong> MPFP came across the Dale towers from Kaiser & K\u00fchne<\/a><\/strong>. In close collaboration, suitable variants, colour accents and additional play equipment were selected and technically tailored to the project. Goric drew up the specifications and provided support with plans, CAD data and approvals in accordance with North American standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
