PHOTOS: A special playground has been built in Budapest
Change language:
A new reform-era playground has been built in the 12th district of Budapest. It includes, among others, a steamboat, a chain bridge and a cogwheel.
In October 2022, the newest playground of Hegyvidék was inaugurated in Hollósy Simon Street in the 12th district. The playground presents the achievements of the reform era in the form of play elements.
The playground was built with the involvement of local residents. The park may be familiar to locals because of the long-standing camel statue (which is why it used to be called the camel playground). The statue remains, but the playground has been completely renovated.
The toys are made by the Ilona Mill Workshop (Ilona-malom Műhely). Children can learn about the achievements and great figures of the reform era on the site, and older children will find lots of information about the era on spectacular displays, minimatine.hu reports.
Park/playground looks lovely. One thing I am not seeing in a single photo are 3 section trash cans for garbage, recyclables, paper products. All public areas need several of these that are emptied on a regular basis to prevent rats, squirls or other rodents from infesting a place. And to keep birds from picking thru garbage that has had food inside of it.
