Visit #ChchSwing, Christchurch, New Zealand

A set of large orange frames containing three swings, the longest of which goes to 3m high. The frames line up at a certain vantage point to frame those on the swings, making it ideal for sharing on social media. The #chchswing project was developed by Gap Filler in conversation with young people from a number of youth organisations. From youth engagement that was happening in the city, we learned that what they felt was missing in the city were places just to hang out. And they’re really keen on places to take photos for using on social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. The #chchswing is made of two separate parts that resemble a giant photo frame. When you stand in a certain place to take a photo, the frames of the swings line up to make what looks like a giant photo frame. The swing is located alongside our Detour Snake Run and right next to the Margaret Mahy playground, Rauora Park and an outdoor basketball court, making this a fabulous place for kids and teenagers to hang out.
