New riverside playground becomes joyful haven for kids

A new children's playground has opened along the Jiaomen River, providing a delightful new space for kids.

The playground aims to provide a safe, inclusive, and creative environment for children to enjoy modern activities. Its facilities draw inspiration from marine life, showcasing bright colors and lively shapes to encourage children's appreciation for nature.

The playground's main attractions are a vivid yellow fantasy octopus and a large whale. These creatively designed structures include different play features: the octopus's tentacles serve as climbing nets and slides, while the whale provides areas for hide-and-seek and balancing activities. The playground also has a red jogging track and various amenities, all free to the public, drawing many families to visit.

The playground's design prioritizes safety and inclusivity. It features colorful, eco-friendly EPDM mats that are soft, slip-resistant, and shock-absorbing to protect children. The layout caters to children of various ages, from climbing areas for toddlers to more complex play structures, all designed to promote independent exploration without mechanical aids.

The playground includes engaging features like vibrant spinning discs, double rocking rides, and teamwork-oriented seesaws to encourage children to interact and cooperate.

Residents along the Jiaomen River jogging path can now enjoy the newly renovated, vibrant spaces such as the Rose Garden and Ball Garden. These improvements offer a relaxed and leisurely route, enhancing the charm of Nansha's 15-minute living circle.
