The popular playground on Nørre Voldgade consists of several historical elements:

The brave Land soldier has travelled to commemorate the Danes' victory at the Battle of Fredericia, 6 July 1849. The statue was made by the artist Bissen and set up in 1858. You'll find the statue in The Landman's Square.

The Prince's Gate was built in its present form in 1753. It was originally the main entrance to the city. If you visit the gate at The Landman's Square, you can see if you can find the differences between the play gate and the right one.

The white water tower was built in 1908 to provide enough water pressure for the city's taller construction. It looks like an old castle tower, but it's only built after you stopped using the violence for defense. The architect Gundlach-Pedersen designed both the water tower, Denmark's Port, Nørre Port and several other large buildings in Fredericia. The water tower is at Prince George's Bastion on the ramparts.

The climbing walls at the back of the playground are similar to the palisades that used to be defended on and off Fredericia Vold. Finally, several of the play equipment are made as cannon pipes and decorated with cannonballs.
