Playing Outside
From seesaw, swing and cable car to skate park and water play area. Outdoor play is important for children of all ages. It stimulates the imagination and challenges. That is why the municipality, together with residents, provides nice playgrounds for everyone. Around the corner in the neighborhood, but also at city farms, on schoolyards 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. You can follow the process steps per playground. From survey to design, to chosen design.
