General description
Developing a children's playground at the Charles Assalé Park in Ebolowa consists of creating a safe, modern, and attractive setting dedicated to children's recreational activities.
This project plans the installation of play equipment (swings, slides, balance games), shaded areas, benches for parents, a basketball court, as well as green spaces that promote relaxation and conviviality.
