The Pangolin Playground
Bamboo U Design Competition
The Pangolin Playground is a child-centred space that brings play, nature, and community together through bamboo. The design reimagines familiar playground elements to encourage curiosity, exploration, and hands-on engagement with natural materials.
Built around the idea of collective making, the playground is conceived as a shared experience; simple to assemble, adaptable, and welcoming to all. Scaled for comfort and safety, the space invites children to play, gather, and imagine freely, while fostering a sense of ownership and connection.
Designed to be joyful and inclusive, the Pangolin Playground weaves sustainability, collaboration, and play into a single, memorable environment.
