Phase 1 Play area plan
In 2020 and 2021 we worked with parents and children from the neighborhoods Skandia/Hulst, Braakhuizen Noord, Luchen (Ambachtsweg), Kerkakkers and the Loo/Boslaan to design playgrounds for in those neighborhoods. It was the first step in creating challenging play and sports areas where young and old can meet. Meanwhile, the designs have been implemented and thus phase 1 of the Play Area Plan has been completed.
In 2022 and 2023 we will start work on phase 2. Preparations for this have already begun. The final phase is scheduled for 2025.

Together with residents
To create the designs, we approached the residents of these neighborhoods in many ways. Unfortunately, because of corona, we could not organize a meeting. We offered them the opportunity through a digital survey to think with us and respond to the first sketches. Thus, we received information from 240 residents in the spring of 2020. Together, they left a total of 572 map responses and ideas. With that data, we set to work. The resulting sketches we fed back to the residents again. A total of 272 people viewed the sketches. 110 people actually responded. We looked at all the responses and, as far as possible, took them into account in the final designs. Below you can read the municipality's feedback on these reactions.
