Playgrounds in Seville, by Avery Bergschneider

Walking around the neighborhood by my residencia I saw this playground randomly placed next to apartments and shops. It is on top of a parking garage and there are many benches to sit on surrounding the play area. It seemed out of place to me because in the United States all playgrounds are in parks surrounded by trees and grass, however here it is surrounded by concrete and streets. To me, the playground looks a little sad as it is artificial grass and isn’t very big for children to run around. I have observed that in Seville there aren’t many parks or grassy areas for children to play so they have created these types of playgrounds. I have seen families come here to let their children play and the children seem to love it. They can interact with other children or play on their own and it gives them the space to play and be active. There are parks closer to the center of the city, however the outlying neighborhoods have these smaller areas for children to play. This is just one example of how a child's environment growing up is different in different cities and countries around the world. It is interesting to note most of the play structures are similar to the ones found in the United States. Slides, spring riders and swings are very popular in both countries. Seville is also a very warm city especially in the summers so many have a covering to shield the sun and provide shade.

My neighborhood playground unfortunately didn't make the list 🙁
