Playground Equipment in Villach to be Dismantled

The playground equipment located in the municipal playground in front of the Khevenhüller school in Villach is set for dismantling in the fourth quarter of 2025. The decision comes following a recent inspection of municipal playgrounds, which revealed that the play equipment has sustained significant wood damages and is no longer fit for continued use.

The damaged play equipment, which is approximately 31 years old, includes a slide that will not be immediately replaced. No interim solution or temporary replacement has been announced, and no new information about the dismantling process or the future of the playground has been provided.

The toddler area on the playground will be redesigned in the future, but no specific details about the redesign have been released. The city has considered repairing the play equipment, but the cost has been deemed uneconomical.

The playground's overall inspection resulted in the identification of the damaged play equipment, triggering the dismantling process. The city has not announced any plans to replace the slide or provide a temporary solution for children during the dismantling and redesign process.

Vandalism reported over the weekend in the playground area may have contributed to the play equipment's condition. However, no specific date has been set for the dismantling of the play equipment beyond the fourth quarter of 2025.

The dismantling of the play equipment marks the end of an era for the playground, but the city is looking forward to redesigning the toddler area and improving the overall playground experience for children in the future.
