Demolition of old play equipment and installation of new play equipment in De Hazewinkel playground
The municipality is replacing the play equipment "the fort" in De Hazewinkel playground. This week, we are starting with the removal of the old equipment. This work will take approximately two weeks. After that, the new play equipment will be installed. This way, children will soon be able to play on a new and challenging piece of equipment. Following the installation, we will organize a festive opening. The date for this will be announced later.
Get involved: suggest a name for the new equipment!
We are asking children to come up with a fun, original name for the new play equipment. A form is available at the playground kiosk where the suggested name can be filled in. The completed form can be submitted at the kiosk or at the reception desk in the town hall, in the designated box. From all submissions, the municipality will select three names. During the official opening, everyone present will be able to vote for their favorite name. The winning name will be announced at that time.
We look forward to all the creative ideas. The form with the name can be submitted until Friday, April 10.
