Child-friendly playground made from recycled materials

Children's playground made from recycled materials at the cultural house of Tai Ly Say village (Quang Tan commune).

Recently, the cultural house of Tai Ly Say village (Quang Tan commune) has become more bustling and is always filled with the laughter of children of all ages playing together, playing on slides, swings, and exploring the creative exercise area made from recycled materials. Previously, Tang A Senh (Tai Ly Say village) only watched TV and used his phone after school, but since this playground was built, Senh and his friends come here every day to play on swings, seesaws, etc.

Recently, the Youth Union in Dam Ha and Quang Tan communes have coordinated to build children's playgrounds from recycled materials in 100% of the villages and hamlets of the two communes. Used materials such as old tires, plastic bottles, ropes, old bamboo tables, etc., after being cleaned, are shaped, painted, decorated with eye-catching drawings, chained, and cleverly reinforced into swings, seesaws, slides, chess boards, garbage sorting houses, recycling bins, etc., creating attractive playgrounds for children. Many playgrounds also have creative objects such as rice mills, rice pounders, etc., recreating the scene of labor production in the past.

Deputy Secretary of the Youth Union of Dam Ha Commune, Doan Manh Quyet, said: After 2 years of implementation, the entire Dam Ha Commune has 12 playgrounds for children made from recycled materials. In the coming time, we will continue to build playgrounds for children in the remaining villages, hamlets, and neighborhoods, as well as diversifying the toys and equipment to attract a large number of children to participate. We hope to continue to receive attention from local authorities and the whole society to join hands in building children's playgrounds, as well as activities for children in the coming time.
