A construction project threatens a playground for toddlers in Etterbeek, near Rue de la Gare. This playground is very special and important for the children and families in the neighborhood. It is secure and perfect for very young children, with suitable equipment.

Why is this playground important?

• It is specially designed for toddlers, with age-appropriate games and a fence to protect them.
• It allows children to play safely and discover nature.
• Other parks in the area are not as safe or suitable for toddlers.

What will happen?

The project plans to build new buildings and keep part of the garden for activities, but the games may not be suitable for toddlers. Additionally, access to this area could be limited.

Residents are concerned about the disappearance of this playground specifically dedicated to the youngest children. They wonder where the children will play during the construction and if the new games will be as good. Our opposition municipal councilor, Athénaïs Cazalis de Fondouce, raised questions about this at the last municipal council meeting. The responses from the College of the Mayor and Aldermen are not very reassuring.

For Ecolo-Groen, the disappearance of this playground would be a great loss for the families in the neighborhood. It is important that the authorities find other places to create secure playgrounds for toddlers, as there is a lack of them in the neighborhood.
