Firar is a modular playground that can be applied to different areas with different sizes and shapes. This playground design aims to make kids the decision-makers of the play area and the games they play. It was designed by me in collaboration with Flopark and METU Industrial Design Department.
GENERAL LOOK
MODULES
Wall module
Passing module
Peeking module
Door module
The door module can be rotated up to 180 degrees to change the paths in the labyrinth.
The peeking module has transparent parts which make hiding a challenge and seeking more fun.
The passing module offers alternative passes between aisles, making chasing games more fun.
GROUP GAMES
By changing the positions of the doors, hiding spots for hide and seek game, chasing paths for the tag games, and the count of corners for the puss in the corner game can be changed to offer kids alternative and new ways to play traditional games.
Thanks to its changeable paths, Firar also creates opportunities for adult-led group games such as
“Who will find the hidden object first?” or “Who will find the way out first?”.
CONFIGURATIONS
Because it cosists of modular parts, Firar can be applied to different areas in the city.
Different areas, different sizes, and different experiences with the same design language.
SAFETY MEASURES
Passing module holes and door gaps are designed according to the regualtions of EN 1176.
The highest point in the playground is 1 meter from the ground.
Door module’s closure angle is minimum 90 degrees to prevent smashes.
The door module's closure hardness (and its speed) can be adjusted during installation and maintenance with proper tools.

Modules and pieces can be assembled and disassembled separately. This makes transportation, installation, and maintenance easier.
After being assembled in the production facility, modules are transported to the play area and installed.
