Children’s joys in the Municipality close Athens due to inappropriateness – See who they are

As quoted in the communication: “Most children’s pleasures of the Municipality of Athens operated in the previous period without the renewal of their proper operation, with responsibility and knowledge of the previous municipal authority. In fact, after checks by the certification body in the years 2022 and 2023 the suitability of 11 playgrounds was not certified and the previous municipal authority continued to operate them, and a reconstruction study had been prepared.’ The Municipality of Athens also states that “15 children’s joys had been tested and found with problems in their operation, without receiving a certificate of operation from the body and remained open, without the necessary corrective actions being taken.” And he adds: “In the name of child safety and at the suggestion of the technical services, we announce that the operation of inappropriate and dangerous children’s joys is interrupted and we are committed after our urgent actions, that their reconstruction procedures begin.” The first reconstructed playgrounds are expected to begin to be delivered in June.
