100 M PEP is Sweden’s first Pep Park and is designed as part of an existing play park, close to water in an environment rich in cultural history. Initiated by the Swedish Crown Princess couple, the park is an important addition to the nearby residential area and contributes to increased active enjoyment for both local residents and visitors. Outer Space arkitekter aim to invite people to exercise together across age boundaries, allowing the whole family to enjoy the park.
The concept is a 100-m-long park with a name that encourages people to be active. The park is only 4.5 m wide and is thus an exciting “line” to explore. The park contains an obstacle course, climbing mountain, dance floor, trampoline, ping-pong table, outdoor gym and more.
The long-term goal of Pep Parks is to encourage physical activity and cultivate enjoyment of exercising outside, and to make such opportunities available. The elements are carefully designed to stimulate the imagination – there is no single right way to play, exercise or move around.
