Since July 2023, the Rosensteinpark has been home to an extraordinary playground, a place where children's imaginations can run wild. What makes this playground so special? It's not just swings and slides; it's an entire adventure landscape, conceived and realized thanks to the dedicated efforts of Stuttgart's politicians and families. The playground's location, adjacent to the Natural History Museum, adds to its regional significance, drawing visitors from across the area due to its size, history, and sheer popularity.

However, this transformation wasn't without its challenges. In 2021, the original play equipment had to be completely removed, paving the way for something truly unique. The result is a playground dominated by a colossal Brachiosaurus, seemingly at rest amidst the lush greenery of Rosensteinpark. This isn't just a static display; it's a fully interactive play structure, offering endless possibilities for children to explore and climb, from its head to its tail.

Indeed, the entire playground is designed in the shape of a dinosaur, inviting children to embark on a prehistoric adventure. They can clamber all over the dino, exploring every nook and cranny from its head to the tip of its tail. And there's a very good reason for this design: to create a playful, engaging, and educational environment that stimulates creativity and physical activity. The playground has the perfect blend of recreational fun and an encounter with the prehistoric world.

The Rosensteinpark itself provides an idyllic backdrop for this playground. Centuries-old trees and sprawling lawns create a serene atmosphere, inviting families to spread out a picnic blanket and soak in the tranquility of the park. In contrast to the peaceful surroundings, the playground in front of the Löwentor Museum, one of the two locations of the State Museum of Natural History, is a hub of activity.

Stuttgart’s representatives highlight the long history of the Rosensteinpark playground. Its roots go back to 1965, but it truly became a beloved destination for families from Stuttgart and beyond after the construction of the iconic wooden pyramid in 1993. Before the dinosaur took up its home the space was once the place of the famous Milka Advertisement.

Here, children can unleash their energy, climbing, sliding, and running to their hearts' content, while parents can relax and enjoy the scene from one of the many benches. Before the dinosaur playground existed, the authorities planned a redesign of the playground near the Natural History Museum in Rosensteinpark, with a budget of 450,000 euros. However, this required the removal of some of the existing, well-loved play equipment.

The old wooden playground equipment from the 1990s served their term and was outdated. The dinosaur playground has more functions than just a playground. It is a walkable work of art, which should give the Rosensteinpark an identity and function as a landmark.

But the dismantling of the old playground was not entirely without controversy. Parents especially criticized the long construction period. This dragged on for a whole year. Now the city is happy about the dinosaur playground, as it is something special. The new playground in the park is intended to be more inclusive than the old one, that is, accessible to children with disabilities.

The idea for the new playground came from the landscape architect Rainer Schmidt from Munich. The dinosaur was designed by him, as he says himself, on a napkin in the restaurant. He wanted to create a landmark that invites people to play. The idea was well received by the city and the city council. The dinosaur playground also makes sense in terms of content, as the Museum am Löwentor is a natural history museum.

The playground has an inclusive concept and can be used by all children, including disabled children. Some areas are accessible by wheelchair, so that all children have the opportunity to play on the dinosaur. Stuttgart's mayor Frank Nopper (CDU) was also present at the opening of the dinosaur playground. He called the playground a highlight for the Rosensteinpark and thanked everyone involved for their commitment.

According to Frank Nopper, the dinosaur playground is an important contribution to making Stuttgart even more attractive for families. The playground is also intended to promote the image of Stuttgart as a family-friendly city. During the opening ceremony of the dinosaur playground, hundreds of children became enthusiastic archaeologists when the dinosaur was officially opened in Rosensteinpark in Stuttgart.

The playground in Rosensteinpark has been a construction site for a long time. After the popular large climbing frame was dismantled, the entire playground was dismantled in the summer of 2022. The construction of the new playground finally started after that.

The Brachiosaurus has a height of 13 meters and is made of robinia wood. It is intended to convey to the children the feeling of being able to slip into the role of a researcher. The playground is open all year round and is free of charge. The playground is located directly at the Rosensteinpark and is easily accessible by public transport. There are also parking spaces available.

The operators recommend that you only use the playground with appropriate shoes, as there is a risk of injury. Parents should also make sure that their children do not climb on the dinosaur unattended. The playground is cleaned regularly and checked for safety. In addition to the dinosaur playground, there are also other playgrounds in the Rosensteinpark. These include a water playground, a sand playground and a natural playground.
