Limerick City & County Council intends to use this model in the future where possible because it encourages children to engage more with nature and their natural surroundings. It is not a formal playground, but indeed a great place to get some of our connection to nature back, the connection which has been dramatically lost over the last decades. Limerick’s initiative is a great experiment and very much welcomed by visiting partner cities: “It might help engage communities”, “A good way to encourage people to explore urban green areas” and “An excellent example of a communication strategy that can be easily integrated into our action plan”- just a few examples from their positive reactions.
