Rainwater Eco-Friendly Playground Design
A new eco-friendly playground has officially opened at an elementary school in Chicago (US), marking a major step forward in sustainable play and community resilience. Built with recycled materials and shaped by community input, this vibrant space is more than just a place for play — it’s also engineered to capture rainwater and reduce flooding in the surrounding neighbourhood.
This hidden infrastructure transforms the playground into a dual-purpose asset: promoting outdoor play while addressing a serious urban drainage issue. A powerful example of how design can benefit both children and community health.
