Cologne, Fire Department Playground

Hop straight into the driver’s seat or jump up onto the large deck and off you go on a wild ride through the city streets. With lights flashing, all the ‘firefighters’ reach the scene. In a hurry, they scramble or slide out of the vehicle to put out the burning building. Or is it just a cat up a tree? With nets, a steering wheel, a slide and lots of space surrounded by sand, the fire engine is brilliant for play.

Landscape architect Andreas Mark-Dammrich has come up with something really great and imagination-sparking here.
