The request was posted on the Facebook group «Contact Centre at Mykolaiv City Council» by resident Anna Troianovych.
According to her, some of the rubber tiles have sunk, others have risen, and some are missing altogether. As a result, potholes and uneven surfaces have formed on the playground.
«Children aged between 1 and 5 use this playground every day. Because of the damaged surface, they are constantly tripping, falling and risking injury,» she wrote.

«I ask that clean sand be delivered and added to the sandpit, as there is almost none left, which makes it impossible for children to play properly and safely,» the appeal states.
The woman called on the local authorities to inspect the area, restore the rubber surface, replace damaged tiles, level the surface and remove any hazardous areas.
«The safety and comfort of children must be a priority. I hope for a prompt response so that the town’s youngest residents can play and relax safely,» she said.
