The specific objective was to upgrade existing and the construction of new playground facilities combining play areas and equipment for children and activities with facilities for cultural events for the entire local rural community.

Main activities

The actions funded under the project were: 1) Existing old and damaged structures either repaired or removed from the playing field; 2) New playground structures constructed; 3) New facilities created, including an outdoor stage, basketball court, summer house, garden benches and outside grill.
