Children's Area and Garden
Safe spaces, educational activities and a green garden for children of all ages.
A safe green space for the little ones
We believe a complete community centre must also have spaces designed for children. Our outdoor garden — over 300 sqm of fenced greenery — is a safe, well-kept and stimulating environment.
Children can play freely while parents attend prayers, courses or the help desk. The garden is supervised by trained volunteers whenever the centre is open.
In summer it becomes the heart of the centre: outdoor activities, creative workshops, reading under the trees and gardening with the children.
Everything children need
Playground
Swings, stainless-steel slide, covered sandpit and spring rocker. All CE certified, maintained and regularly checked for safety.
Multi-sport Field
Small synthetic-grass field for five-a-side football, basketball and team games. Ideal for children aged 6 and up.
Educational Vegetable Garden
A child-sized vegetable garden where the little ones learn to plant, water and harvest vegetables. Each group of children has its own plot.
Gazebo and Shade
Wooden gazebo with low tables and children's chairs. Ideal for crafts, reading and outdoor social time.
Flower Beds

Mothers' Group — Every Friday morning
Every Friday morning, while the children play in the garden, the mothers meet for a moment of sharing, mutual support and crafts.
The group is coordinated by Fatima Benali, vice-president of the centre, and welcomes mothers of all nationalities. Italian is spoken — it is also an informal way to practise the language!
