Playground, reopening after a long wait

The wait of dozens and dozens of children who for several days had been denied the opportunity to play in the public green area at the Arbostella Park. A gust of strong wind had knocked a tree to the ground and the public playground closed its doors. This was the unwelcome surprise, after Easter Monday, for many children who for days in the eastern area of ​​the provincial capital had found access to the green area blocked. Until yesterday, the reports of many parents who were forced to dry the tears of their children who were unable to play in the park, which among other things It is equipped with rides. Yet in recent days by the municipal administration of Salerno Workers had been sent to the site to remove the trunk and bushes of the tree that had given way to the wind.

But until yesterday the operation had not been completed, without any explanation. An unfinished one that was not justified by the weather conditions considering that neither the wind nor the rain had appeared in Salerno. And the children, like their parents, had no choice but to take note of the closed gate after reading the sign reading “Playground closure – Entry prohibited”. Words that sounded like boulders on who should represent the interests of the local community.

“Is it possible that no one knows how to respond to the lists of citizens asking for the reopening of a playground dear to many as well as one of the few free meeting places? The wind may change after the gusts that knocked down the tree but not the little ones’ hope of being able to play again as soon as possible at Arbostella Park” the words of many parents until yesterday morning. In the afternoon, then the reopening of the playground and the children were finally happy.
