Configuration of an existing playground

Configuration of an existing playground

The playground is part of a wider free space, a sports center with two basketball courts. Due to the imbalance, it remains separated from them, having complete independence in access and operation. The playground has an area of ​​about 660m2. The redesign of the space aimed at creating a play space that will be addressed to the first two age groups of children. At the same time, the creation of an attractive natural playground was sought by increasing the natural materials of the floors and the plantings. Of the three entrances, only the central one was preserved, with its width limited. The two auxiliaries were sealed. There is a central track that directly accesses all play areas. This route is implemented with a stabilized earthen floor. All the dugouts were filled with special granulometry pebbles according to the specifications. In the center of the space towards the border of the fence on Pandionios Street, a curved concrete living room was constructed.
