For years, Basisschool De Phoenix in Zwolle faced the challenges that came with a natural grass field on the school grounds. During dry periods, dust regularly found its way into classrooms and hallways, while wet weather often turned the field into a muddy area that limited play opportunities.<\/p>\n
The field is located next to the school in the heart of a residential neighborhood and serves not only students, but also children from the surrounding community after school hours. The school therefore looked for a solution that would remain attractive, accessible and usable throughout the year.<\/p>\n
Following discussions with the Vario Fields team, the school selected ONE-DNA\u2122 artificial grass for the project. The new surface provides a practical, low-maintenance play environment that remains available for use throughout changing weather conditions.<\/p>\n
Marco Veneboer, principal of De Phoenix, explains:<\/p>\n
\nThe new surface aligns well with how we want to use our outdoor space. It provides students and neighborhood children with a place to play throughout the year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
A documented approach<\/h4>\n
The installation is supported through the ONE-DNA\u2122 project registration system, linking the field to product and project information throughout its service life.<\/p>\n
This provides clear documentation for the school and contributes to a transparent record of the installation.<\/p>\n
Open to the community<\/h4>\n
To preserve the open character of the playground, the school decided not to install fencing around the field. Existing goals were reinstalled, creating a welcoming space where children from both the school and the surrounding neighborhood can meet, play and be active together.<\/p>\n
The result is a field that remains accessible while fitting naturally into its surroundings.<\/p>\n
A space that gets used<\/h4>\n
The renovated playground has created a cleaner and more practical outdoor environment for both students and local residents. By focusing on usability, accessibility and everyday performance, Basisschool De Phoenix has created a play space designed to serve the community throughout the year.<\/p>\n
