A new playground is being built in the Botanical Garden of the University of Tartu for children.
A new playground is being built in the Botanical Garden of the University of Tartu. Children can play and learn there. It features a mud kitchen, play river, and a kobold’s oven.
The playground is natural. Before, there was sand and an old playhouse. Now there are mounds of soil and stones, tree trunks, and many workers. The play river and kobold’s oven are almost ready.
The playground will be ready in a couple of weeks. Children were able to help in creating the playground.
Natural play areas support children's health and development. Pine cones and tree trunks enhance children's creativity.
Teachers say that the city needs more natural play areas. Children play in the forest or by the river. Those who play in nature usually do not want a playground.
The playground is being built in collaboration between the University of Tartu and the city. It costs 10,000–12,000 euros. The money comes from the city budget and projects.
