The children's jury got to share their opinion about Äänekoski's new playground
A new theme park is created through participation
The city of Äänekoski implements a new themed playground, conceived by a child from Äänekoski. Residents have been involved in the project from the beginning and children's opinions have been heard in particular. Before the ski holiday, the Koulunmäki school's jury of over 200 children, from preschoolers to 5th grade students, voted on four different options for a pleasant playground complex.
In addition to Lapsiraad's voting result, the selection of a play equipment supplier is influenced by other quality criteria used in the competition. The criteria emphasize e.g. functionality and ecology of play equipment. The selection of the playground equipment supplier that wins the competition will be confirmed by the city structure board at its March meeting. A budget of 400 euros has been set aside for the construction of the theme park.
The theme park will be built in Rantapuisto during this year. In the residents' survey, the majority supported Rantapuisto for its calmness, safety and versatility. In previous resident surveys, the park's winning themes were the jungle and the underwater world. At the children's request, the theme park will have at least a nest swing, a wire slide and ground trampolines.
