Playground Gaucheret 01

In Schaerbeek, the Gaucheret was intended from an urban point of view as a mixed district to be reborn around a park. The latter therefore now has a social role to play: to become a meeting place between the former inhabitants of the district and the newcomers (of different nationalities and social origins), a space of conviviality where the link is rewoven social.

The fun fountain
With its permanent water bottom, its jets of varying heights and its misters. The playful fountain, in summer, is the real attraction of the Gaucheret space, a sort of open-air public swimming pool.

The multifunctional tile
A vast concrete space, the slab offers its smooth and flat structure to a multitude of leisure activities: football, basketball, volleyball, badminton, rollerblading, concerts and other more occasional events.

The playgrounds

• More specifically intended for 5-8 year olds, the large playground is set up in a sandy and open area. Classic equipment (turnstile, slide, swings), but with a “fun” and contemporary design.
• The second, older, comprises on a cast rubber floor, two springs, a Merry-go-round and a small slide. Open to 3-7 year olds, it is delimited by low walls that serve as both a fence and benches.
