Paddling Pools and Water Play in Basel, 3 of 9: Wittlinger Playground

A neighborhood playground built around a large paddling pool with a water feature, which keeps kids cool through the summer months. Around it are climbing equipment, a slide, swings, a sandpit, a carousel, a seesaw and a play lawn.
Benches, movable picnic tables and a temporary toilet block sit by a lawn for lounging. City gardener Richard Arioli designed it in 1956, and it was last renewed in 2003.
