KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Several community groups in Knoxville partnered together to create a special playground for young children. The playground is meant to engage with kids from many kinds of cultural backgrounds.
Centro Hispano, Muse Knoxville and the Friends of Literacy collaborated together on a bilingual play area. Organizers of the play area also said it is aimed to improve mental health among small children, reaching them through their own languages.
"Thank you to Centro Hispano for this activity, for giving us this time here with people from our country and our culture. It is very important to us, thank you," said Adriania Esquivel, a parent of a child who participates in the play area.
Organizers said that the play area is available for 15 weeks and the group meets every Wednesday in the Muse Knoxville building, located on North Beaman Street.
