feels a bit r/OrphanCrushingMachine but at the same time, good for them? The article calls it a "pop-up playground" so it sounds like a makeshift thing the community put together. The police apparently cordon it off from car traffic during school-ish hours and children can play in one of the safer areas of the neighborhood. The kids look like they're in primary school, and I couldn't imagine being 7 and not having had real play time since before the pandemic. I hope they get to keep their area and/or a new area created for them.
