1. We take applications from local governments, community organisations and children’s institutions throughout the year.2. We select locations based on the following criteria:
- Demonstrated need for a play facility
- In the case of a local government or community organization, readiness to provide co-funding
- Provision of appropriate land for the play facility
- Commitment of the applicant to take responsibility for the upkeep and security of the play facility
- We identify the ideal equipment and design to benefit the local children, including equipment for children with disabilities
- We work with Russian play park manufacturer KSIL to build our play parks at a discount on their usual fees (KSIL is an internationally respected playground manufacturer with over 30 years of experience)
- KSIL works with local subcontractors to construct the play park over a period of eight weeks
- We enclose each play facility with a secure fence to keep out threatening adults and older children
- We visit our play parks regularly to ensure they are well maintained and kept secure
- We also ask parents, children and local children’s organisations to report back to us if they observe a case of vandalism or misuse or other damage to the play facility
- If a play park is not maintained adequately by our local partner, we reserve the right to relocate it
