29 April, 2021
To support our youngest community members and in-line with the recent move to Tier 1B of the Keeping KAUST Safe guidelines, four community playgrounds are open as of Thursday, April 29. Playgrounds will be monitored, and non-compliance to safety guidelines will result in further closures. Keeping the parks open is up to the community and the decisions you and your family make in following these guidelines.
These playgrounds lead the way in modern play environments, encouraging outdoor play, engaging imagination, and bringing children of all abilities together. They also feature shaded areas to protect your little ones on sunny days, and lighting so the fun can continue even after the sun goes down.
From Safety Town, with its rubberized road markings teaching road safety, to Haven with its sandy base to support a safe and engaging play environment, the playgrounds all have their a unique style, designed to offer a safe and fun environment for kids to play, learn, and socialize.
For an enjoyable and safe experience at KAUST playgrounds, please follow the below playground safety tips and Keeping KAUST Safe guidelines.
We are all in this together
Playground rules are in place so that families can enjoy our playgrounds again. If you or your child are unable to comply with these safety rules, it's best that you refrain from use of the playground areas. Please also understand that even though we have guidelines in place, sharing high-touch equipment still poses a risk to contracting COVID-19.
Keeping these playgrounds open is ultimately up to you. Thank you for doing your part with following the rules for your safety and everyone's safety.
Please play safe!
