The Onassis Foundation creates a new playground at Avdi square
The new children’s playground installed by the Onassis Foundation in Metaxourgio –donated to the City of Athens as part of our OnAthens initiative, a comprehensive policy of Athenian public space interventions– enriches the urban fabric of Avdi Square, and recognizes the importance of both play and culture in our daily lives.

Contemporary cities such as Athens are constantly seeking out meeting points and creative hubs for renewing ties with their citizens. This need is most pressing when it comes to playgrounds, which are the beating heart of neighborhoods and communities – a place to let off steam, join together, and connect.
For children, they are a place for play and free time spent within a safe environment. For adults, they are a place for community interaction.
