DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Very few Palestinians could have imagined that old tires, wooden electric poles or other discarded household items could be used to make a children's playground — until the creation of Hakoura Park.
The 2,000-square-meter (21,500-square-foot) park is the first and only one made of recycled materials in the Gaza Strip. It was established by NAWA for Culture and Arts Association in Deir al-Balah, a city 14 kilometers (9 miles) south of Gaza City, in early July 2016. The park opened to visitors in December, welcoming the city’s children and parents, schools and educational institutions free of charge.
