In today's urban life, both adults and children live under great pressure, and time slips away quietly. Can we create a place where time briefly pauses, where lost time can be picked up and beautiful marks left behind? Can children become friends of time and awaken our own happy childhood memories? A good children's playground should not only integrate well with the surrounding landscape but also provide an immersive experience. The overall landscape plan takes time as its axis and imprint as its ground, infusing spaces with warm, memorable time imprints to create a new-era park for open socializing, resting, and playing. The team was primarily responsible for the detailed design of two nodes: Swing of Time and Imprint of Growth. As important landscape nodes, they integrated the time element into the design, hoping to create a dreamy time journey for children where they leave imprints of their growth, and also to awaken happy childhood memories in adults. At Swing of Time, after walking through a winding tunnel of time, a swing of time appears at the end. It serves as both the conclusion of the corridor tunnel and the introduction to vitality. Time seems to slow down here as one gently sways on a crescent-shaped swing, spending a quiet moment. Different from conventional circular swings, the design emphasizes a leisurely experience, and the all-white overall scheme gives an elegant, clean feeling. Meanwhile, swing seats of different sizes meet the needs of both children and adults.
