What we do › A greener playground

A greener playground

Fewer tiles, more green and wood. The children help design it. With their design we apply for funding from the city and the water board.

More green, wood and shade in the playground. Cooler in summer, a place where rainwater can soak into the ground, and play in nature. The playground is open after school, so the neighbourhood plays there too.

What will we do?

The playground belongs to the city. That is why we work together with the Zuid district, the school and the pupils’ council.

  1. Talk with the Zuid district – what is allowed, and who maintains it?
  2. Design with the children – the pupils’ council designs together with a specialist in green playgrounds.
  3. A first green strip – for example a wooden bench with plants, as a trial.
  4. The big makeover – tiles out, green and wood in, together with the water board and the city.
