| Playground segment at GaLaBau  The Playgrounds is part of the GaLaBau international exhibition from 15-18 September 2010. This segment in the fully booked hall 1 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg covers playground construction and maintenance. Some 100 manufacturers of playground equipment and leisure facilities show their new products here. A new feature is the special show "Playpoints – modern playing in the city", which shows ideas for playgrounds for children and young people of 11 plus.There are baby playgrounds, "normal" playgrounds, multi-generation playgrounds and playgrounds for the elderly, but nothing actually suitable for young people. This age group doesn't really want to play in a "playground" – this is "lame" in teenage slang. Particularly cities should offer a variety of play areas and remain worth living in for all age groups, according to the Federal Association of Playground Equipment and Leisure Facility Manufacturers [Bundesverband der Spielplatzgeräte– und Freizeitanlagen-Hersteller (BSFH)], which together with the trade magazine Playground@Landscape has initiated the special show "Playpoints – modern playing in the city" in the Playground segment. The special show presents new pioneering aspects of this issue and poses the following questions: What does a really good and attractive playground for children and young people of about 11 years or older look like? Is a "chill-out area" a fitting name for such a place? Can age-orientated "leisure grounds" combat boredom and so help to prevent vandalism, for example? Investments by local authorities would pay off. Move@chill is what young people expect from a "playground" for their age group. Interested visitors can find more Move@Chill in the PLAYGROUND segment at GaLaBau 2010. The manufacturers in the Playground segment at GaLaBau in Nürnberg in September 2010 present playground equipment specifically for young people. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
