The playground next to Lake Békás in the heart of the Great Forest, where kids can enjoy climbing on a giant frog, a huge ship and a plane, there is now a new lighthouse, a tower with slides and a range of rope climbing adventure equipment.
The play facilities were donated by Nyírerdő Zrt. as part of an offer made to the city’s local government.
Mayor László Papp recalled, the playground opened in 2014, and was expanded further since. The newly installed three play items equate to elements worth HUF 17,5 million. The items are reportedly made from high-quality and natural materials and are now available for use.
The municipality also contributed to the investment, shock-absorbing floor area was installed in the vicinity of the new play equipment to ensure safety, and new benches and waste bins were also introduced.
