Playground
The collapsible playground transforms any piece of wasteland into a recreational area for children in no time.
To transform an abandoned piece of land into an area where children can enjoy themselves is often a time- and energy-consuming effort. When children have the idea to use an urban space as their playground, they want it to happen now. And that is what the collapsible playground can do. In 5 minutes children have their playing field, and asks attention for city-users below 5 years old.
The collapsible playground is a carrier tricycle with a slide, a merry-go-round, a seesaw, a swing and two small football goals and even comes with artificial grass. It probably takes an adult to ride the bicycle, and to help set up the playground, but from there on children can help themselves.
The collapsible playground is available in Brussels and has been used by groups who promote children’s rights and urban public space alike.
