Age: 0 - 6/7
District IV., Tél utca / Nyár utca Tél and Nyár utca are two parallel streets, running from east to west, enclosing blocks of high buildings. On the east end of Tél/Nyár u., close Virág/Rózsa u. is a nice, modern playground. It is fenced, has lots of shade and good collection of equipment for the young ons, incl. a wooden house to climb. The playground for the older ones is limited but it has ping-pong tables and a fenced basket/football field. Pleasant! Size: medium
Age: 0 - 6/7 A little further west between Tél/Nyár u. is a fenced playground, with both old and new toys. There is a section for the toddlers and a good climbing section for the older children. The shade and sun in the playground is very pleasant. There is also a basketball/football field with rubber and (old) ping-pong tables. Size: medium
Age: 0 - 6/7 The playground located at the west end of Tél/Nyár u. is small but pleasant for the young ones. Size: medium

District IV., Berda József u. / Aradi u. There are two playgrounds in this street (Berda u.). The first, close to Aradi u. is not recommended but a little further, along Berda J. u., is a new, low-fenced playground. It is peaceful and well kept with a good selection of toys for smaller children. Not so much shade though. Recommended. Size: small
Age: 0 - 4
District IV., Gyulai tér In a pleasant square, with lots of high trees, you will find this playground with modern, wooden equipment. Size: small
Age: 0 - 6/7
District V., Bástya utca In the very south part of the district, close to the Szabadság híd, you can see a creative solution when there is hardly any (green) space around. The playground is divided into three sections: the 1st has a slide and sand pit for younger children, the 2nd a football field and finally the 3rd part has a sand pit and a slide for older children. Only open to the public after 5PM, when the nearby preschool (to which it partly belongs) closes. Size: medium

District V., Erzsébet tér Opened in 2007, this playground is brand new! It is located in the large, urban square in the City Centre. It has great football & basketball fields for older children, nice skating and skateboarding areas and lots of benches for lazy parents. The selection of toys, however, is rather limited. Size: medium
Age: 0 - 6/7
District VIII., Kálvária tér In the green square full of trees and shadow, east on Baross u., is a fenced, fairly modern playground. The playing equipment is OK with sand pit, swing and climbing frames with slides. Size: medium
Age: 0 - 6/7

Age: 0 - 6/7
District IX., Tüzoltó utca 93. Lovely, small playground. Fenced, mainly for younger children: riding/sliding/climbing toys, swings, sand pit. Size: small
Age: 0 - 3/4
District XII., Margaréta utca This sunny playground still has mainly wooden toys: climbers/sliders, riders, roundabouts and sand pits for the very young ones. The swings really need replacement! The wood - with carved hungarian motifs - disappearing on playgrounds in line with EU regulation - gives the playground a different atmosphere. We like it! Size: medium
Age: 0 - 6/7
District XII, Gáal József / Határör út A small, lovely new playground. It has only a few toys, mainly for younger children. Rather busy in the mornings, when the local preschool goes there with the youngest group. Size: medium
Age: 0 - 10
District XII., Kútvölgy út 62. A bit off the beaten track, but worth a visit if you are living close by. Bamboo wooden toys, including a large climing frame. Nice - fenced - location in the hills with fresh air. Size: -
Age: 0 - 6/7 Map coming soon
District XII., Szarvas Gábor út, Szent Család Park Pleasant, fenced playground: swings & slides (both for toddlers and older children), climbing frame and nice, large sand pit with toys. There is a hill which is ideal for the "Hungarian" plastic motor bikes. Size: medium
Age: 0 - 6/7
District XIII., behind Tahi út 44. The so called "Playground of the Boat". On a grassy spot you can climb the boat and play with some other toys. Lovely. Size: medium
Age: 0 - 4
District XIII., Pozsonyi utca Across Pozsonyi utca, facing Szt. István Park, there are two other fenced playgrounds. One is also for younger children, though too sunny, and the other has a swing, a glider and ping-pong tables for older children. So the whole area, including the park is really great! Size: both small/medium
Age: 0 - 12
District XIII., before Gidófalvy L. u 9-15 / Kassák L. u. Between tall buildings is a nice, spacious fenced playground.
