The Outdoor Beast opens inclusive sound arch
At Play Farm Het Buitenbeest, a crowd of jubilant young Zoetermeerders together with Alderman Marijke van der Meer inaugurated the interactive Yalp movement arch on National Outdoor Play Day. The Yalp, the inverse of Play, is an imposing arch that floats above a playing field and makes sounds when it moves.
Alderman Van der Meer likes the fact that the arch is also suitable for children with disabilities: "The Yalp fits well with our desire to ensure that all children can participate as much as possible. The arch is not only there for children in wheelchairs or with disabilities, but especially for all playful visitors."
