Playing Outside
From seesaw, swing and cable car to skate park and water playground. Playing outside is important for children of all ages. It stimulates the imagination and challenges. That is why the municipality, together with residents, provides nice play areas for everyone. Around the corner in the neighborhood, but also at city farms, on school playgrounds or in city parks.
Approach to playgrounds
Every year, the municipality of Zoetermeer tackles various playgrounds. Check doemee.zoetermeer.nl/spelen to see which playgrounds will be replaced. The process steps can be followed per playground. From survey to designs, to chosen design.

Inspection of playground equipment
Playground equipment and areas are inspected 4 times a year. In this way we guarantee the necessary maintenance and safety.
Play space note
We want all children from 0 to 17 years old to be able to play to their heart's content in public spaces. Our play policy is stated in the Play Space Memorandum 2016-2026 Give Space! . View the analysis and exploration per age of children, now and in 5 years, on the play page. The replacement and improvement of the play areas in the coming years will take place in close consultation with the neighbourhood.
