Hello, Wondering if you could help? My 9 yr old daughter is in a wheeled chair - she loves going to the playground with her sisters. We've been here a year and apart from the zoo have not found any accessible play facilities in the Munich area. Is there anywhere she can find a large supporting swing (her favourite) or roundabout? Thanks ... rolleyes.gif

If I know what you mean by a roundabout, there's one in the play area at Taxisgarten beer garden (U1 Gern.)

It's the carousel thing that kids push around to get going and then jump up on, or just ride on if they're not pushing?

you mean a swing like this ?

There is one at the playground next to the Aumeister bbeer garden, near the top of the English Gardens.

There is an absolutely cool playground for kids with wheels and without. Itäs used by a Landheim fuer Behinderte as well so that may be a nice contact as well.

Harlaching, right next to (actually part of a huge shared courtyard) the Orthozentrum in Kurzstrasse. UBahn to Wettersteinpl. (nice wheelchair friendly elevator to ground level) and then two stops on the tram) Kurzst.

There is a platform for those who roll (like a climbing frame) all kinds of rolling practice places

rubbery bouncy

wooden bridge

wheelchair accessible slide, swing, merry go round, see saw, cool hammock swings

definitely worth a look!

The playground at the Munich Zoo (Thalkirchen) is designed to be wheelchair accessible.
