SPACE FOR PLAY & GAMES IN THE CHILDREN’S CITY Children learn about life through play. Their imagination is stimulated by play, their arms and legs are put in motion and soon they are engrossed in play. The City of Copenha-gen has a wealth of opportunities for play. Day-care centres and school yards house playgrounds that provide a wealth of development opportunities during the day. Following on from this, when parents and children are off work and school etc. there are lots of opportunities to choose bet-ween the more than 125 public playgrounds that are always open to the public.Playgrounds constitute some of the places that Copen-hageners want to visit the most with their children. So they are much used with the resulting wear and tear of the play equipment. In 2008 we began a massive renewal project involving all of the public playgrounds in Copenhagen.We have come a long way and expect to be finished with the last playgrounds in 2012. Go out and see the wonderful play-grounds for yourself - and follow the Plads til Leg (Play Space) project at www.kk.dk/legeplads.

BASIC PLAYGROUNDS AND EXCURSION PLAYGROUNDS Copenhagen’s playgrounds are wonderfully diverse, both in terms of size and design. You can find both those we call basic playgrounds and those that are worth an excursion. The basic playgrounds are to be found just around the corner from where you live. They attract visitors with their classic play equipment, i.e. swings, sandboxes slides and climbing-frames.All of the excursion playgrounds have something special to offer and invite one to spend more time visiting them. The excursion playgrounds are scattered all over the city and constitute obvious places to visit for day care centres and families that would like to try out something new and different.

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE MANNED PLAYGROUNDS? Copenhagen has the greatest number of manned play-grounds compared to other Danish towns. A total of 23 playgrounds are manned by paid pedagogical staff that turn a playground visit into a special experience. They carry out activities with the children, both indoors and outdoors. They lend out go-carts, moon-cars and fun bicycles, offer help with homework and introduce new young users to the playground. All of the manned playgrounds have a homely activity house with toys, doll corners, a hobby workshop, etc. Each playground is a small world in itself and all activities and options are open to, and free of charge for, all children and youngsters, regardless of age. The manned playgrounds are typically open from 9.30 am-5pm. They open at 10 pm on Fridays. Check the playground website for specific opening hours. www.kk.dk/legeplads
