Parsloes Park Play Area， Create London and the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham

Create London Yinka Ilori Thierry Bal 26

[With his signature use of vibrant colours and geometric patterns, Yinka Ilori has repurposed parts of an out-of-use playground to create ‘The Flamboyance of Flamingos’. The new playground, co-commissioned by Create London and the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham, have transformed Parsloes Park into a colourful play haven to encourage children and young people to climb, hang out and play sports.

The design imagines collaborative play for children of all ages, including the reintroduction of pink flamingos – who once inhabited the park – in the form of bouncy spring rockers and a circular seating area. A new basketball court is also introduced along with abstract structures to encourage alternative forms of play. Combining off-the-shelf play equipment with customised designs, these unique structures open possibilities for expanding the imaginations of children and adults alike.]

I have referred to some parks designed for children, and I can find that they are all designed with pink blue yellow-based shades. And most of those patterns are curve-based, except for the flamingo shape of its logo.

In my design of the pattern of the plastic sheet, I also used only curve-based patterns.
