Park of Joy

Park of Joy is a playground built using recycled tires and scrap for children in a rural school in Tamil Nadu. The entire project was completed in less than $350 by leveraging local community resources and mobilizing volunteers. The project was implemented on the tenets of Participatory Design where the stakeholders were involved in every phase of the design process. The community members of the school, especially the children, played a significant role in choosing the playground designs, and collecting the necessary material, even during the construction. Currently, the park is being used by more than 150 children every day.
