A trip to the Garden of the Senses

by Tore

A few weeks back I took my son to the Garden of the Senses in a nearby park. It’s an odd sort of playground with loads of things to touch, climb on and bash.

An odd little wooden sculpture, but the textures of the different "foods" are great.

Springtime and summer do it more justice than these pictures, but despite the rain and a bit of hail we did catch a few magical moments. Take this fun contraption:

An obviously Japanese inspired contraption with a mallet

The mallet gets put to good use

Brilliant noise! Nothing beats a good crash beat.

Speaking og spring and summer then this hobbit hole always looks brilliant when surrounded by leaves:

The circular entrance invokes a sense of mystery and wonder in me

Valbyparken another option

I came across another cool park while googling for an English text about the Garden of the Senses. I think we’ll go there next weekend, but you can check out the playground in Valbyparken today – although you’ll have to scroll down a little for the text in English.
