A Multisensory Playground by the Water
Strandvænget Park og Naturlegeplads is a 16-hectare haven designed to engage all the senses. The sprawling landscape combines carefully curated play equipment with natural environments, creating an immersive outdoor experience for children and families. The park's varied terrain features flower beds, shrubs, tree plantings, and seasonal blooms that change throughout the year, offering visual interest across every season. The location sits directly adjacent to the Great Belt strait, providing stunning water views and a connection to Denmark's maritime landscape.Play Equipment and Physical Challenges
The playground features balance beams and climbing frames that encourage physical development and confidence-building. Children can navigate challenging climbing structures, test their balance, and explore movement in ways that develop coordination and strength. The equipment is thoughtfully distributed across the park to encourage exploration and discovery, with different stations suited to various age groups and abilities. The sensory-focused design means children engage not just physically but through sight, sound, and touch as they move through different zones.Animal Encounters and Farm Experience
One of the park's defining features is its small farm area, home to ponies, goats, rabbits, chickens, and ducks. Visitors are invited to interact with these friendly animals, hand-feeding the goats and ponies in a hands-on learning experience. This direct contact with farm animals creates memorable moments and teaches children about animal care and natural ecosystems in an informal, engaging way. The animal areas are integrated naturally into the park's layout, allowing visitors to move seamlessly between play zones and animal encounters.Accessibility and Inclusive Design
The park prioritizes accessibility with over 4 kilometres of wheelchair-friendly pathways that wind through the entire site. These well-maintained routes ensure that visitors of all mobility levels can explore the park independently. Direct access to a child-friendly beach means families can easily transition from playground activities to water-based recreation. The thoughtful infrastructure includes picnic areas, tables and benches, and grilling facilities, making it practical for extended family visits.Seasonal Charm and Outdoor Amenities
The park's varied plantings—including perennials, bulbs, summer flowers, shrubs, and trees—create a dynamic landscape that shifts with the seasons. Spring brings flowering bulbs and fresh growth, summer offers lush greenery and blooming flowers, autumn displays warm colours, and winter reveals the park's structural bones. Grilling areas and picnic spots allow families to prepare meals outdoors, while the open views across the Great Belt provide a scenic backdrop for any visit. The combination of natural beauty, recreational facilities, and water access makes Strandvænget a destination that rewards multiple visits throughout the year.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
