JNF to build 21,000 sq ft indoor playground for children of Sderot

In order to allow the children of Sderot to play more freely, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) embarked on a massive project: Building the largest indoor playground in Israel.   

“Sderot has been under siege for seven years,” said JNF President Stanley M. Chesley. “We can’t stop the rockets from falling but we can give these children an opportunity to escape the anxiety and fear that they are forced to live with.”  

The 21,000 square-foot indoor playground, a $5 million project, would be located in a secure industrial zone and feature recreational and exercise facilities for children ages 16 and under, including jungle gym equipment, a soccer field and volleyball court, a rock climbing wall, a snack area and gift shop, a movie and television area, a disco, swing sets, a merry-go-round, and more.  

The facility will be under the supervision of the Israeli Army Engineers for Security Clearances and the educational arm of the IDF is set to provide after-school tutoring services. There will also be three therapy rooms to help children suffering from trauma.
