Central Festival Ville Playground, Bangkok, Thailand

Infomation

Besides the rooftop walkway, this place is famous for a multi-story children's play area. It is called FAMPLAYLAND. Children can train their physical fitness, intellect and social skills. The space is clean and absolutely safe.

The first thing passersby notice is a 9 m tower with 118 m3 of three-dimensional climbing net inside. The tower connects all three floors of FAMPLAYLAND, and each floor has two play rooms. To ensure safety, the whole system is wrapped in an artificial net. At the very top of the tower, players find a winding tube about 8 m long that carries them back down to the base in a way that is both impressive and thrilling.

All the criteria of a great play area can be found in this FAMPLAYLAND. The floor area is fairly small, but the ceiling rises to ten and a half meters, so the sturdy rope-net tower was installed to make the most of the available space. The idea came from the net system at Swarovski in Austria, which was also installed across several floors.

Unlike Swarovski, this Bangkok shopping center's play area had no anchor points to tension the ropes. The solution was to use the building's own steel columns, eight and a half meters tall, as anchors. The clamping parts connect well to these columns, and once they were all in place, the giant net tower of FAMPLAYLAND officially became the tallest indoor climbing net system anywhere.

Beyond the tower's usability, its structure and appearance also fit the children's play area at Central Festival East Ville well. Climbing and playing here helps children develop their sense of three-dimensional space and their motor skills. The tower gives children a feeling of pride. When they conquer it, the reward is an exciting slide down.
