Mantri's children's corner - 2

Our plea for a re-think on location of the children's play area in front of the clubhouse stores has apparently had no impact on the Mantri project team.
They have added another play unit in an area that is already pretty cramped. Besides,the play area, in its present location, appears to be coming up mainly for the benefit of children accompanying their parents to the grocery store. Which may help the store sale. If the play area has to address the needs of all children in the community, Mantri's would do well to re-locate it.
One other thing. With the children's corner taking up so much space in front of the stores, one wonders how they can fit in a ramp at the store entrance. See earlier post - Need a ramp to the store entrance.

Mantri's children's corner

Children's play area that is getting ready close to the Clubhouse store is, frankly, bit of a disappointment. It doesn't fit in with the location I had in mind. I would have thought the play area for children (who need supervision) should ideally be located in a prime space - the front lawn, which has benches for elders and a security cabin within hailing distance.
In its current location the play area appears litle more than an adjunct to the super mart. Branded retail chains and reputed fast-food joints such as Mcdonalds factor in children's play area within their premises as a promotional feature.
