The Bophelong Clinic of QEII has asked us to come up with the plans for a playground. The Clinton Foundation has agreed to fund it the problem is that the QEII still objects to it.However after my visit to the Hospital today I discovered that they are actually sitting on the solution. In more than one way…
At the end of hospital grounds behind a container there is a huge pile of rubber floor tiles! The kind that with a coat of paint can be used to solve the playground problem.
Re-used tiles, a coat of paint, a dozen tires, a small fence, a truck of sand, and a rope and you’d build yourself a playground swings and all! Easy!
And if the Hospital decides they need to reuse those grounds a shovel and a few man can take it down in a couple of hours…
Monday I’ll go and talk to Superintendent and see if we can reach this deal.
Work on site is still going as planned. The old floor slab is being dug out and today I just asked them not to store the rocks on the remaining slab but to store them outside… No need to overload a fairly week slab.

Maybe I didn't explain very well before...
The plastic floor tiles will be aplied on a bed of gravel and sand, these will have the double function of letting the water drain undrr the playground and serve as a soft base for the cuildren to play on. The rest of the playgrond would be made using different sized tyres in diferent ways. Thx for the comment.
