Robin Hood takes on Sherwood castle at the Posthoorn campsite in Holland.
The 22nd of April was the official opening of a new play area in the Posthoorn campsite. It received a special visit from Robin Hood to get the children involved in the theming and imagination of the medieval castle playground design.
The site invited several classes from the local primary school along to try out this new play area, designed by Proludic and themed around the Nottingham hero Robin Hood. When it opened, all the children charged forward like the famous outlaw and his band of Merry Men!
The medieval castle has a multitude of activities to keep them entertained. Children can explore climbing nets and walls, tunnels, standard and tubular slides, rope walkways, sliding masts. This equipment creates a journey paved with adventures. You can even play hide and seek in the many hiding spots – you can disappear and reappear at various points, giving your friends and family a fright!
The personalised play panels use the bespoke Grafic Games technique. This has produced a realistic medieval scene and encouraged children to step into Robin Hood’s shoes and have fun role-playing.
The summer holidays are off to a good start!
