More playtime fun in renovated playgrounds
Over the past few months, two playgrounds in Rijen have been renovated. These are the playgrounds at Architect Aartsplein and Burgemeester Sweensplein.
The old play equipment was in need of replacement. Together with local residents, sturdy wooden play structures made from sustainable wood were chosen.
At the playground on Architect Aartsplein, rubber mats have been installed under the swing, jungle gym, and climbing equipment for safety.
Cas (8) has already tried out the playground: “I especially like the obstacle course and the rope bridge because I love climbing. The swing is also really fun.”
At the playground on Burgemeester Sweensplein, there is a climbing square and a bird’s nest swing. The ground here is covered with play sand. A picnic bench completes the setup. Children from the neighborhood are also enjoying this playground.
