Acoustics‚ scented plants and mosaic materials have been used to transform a sandy patch of land into a playground for blind children in Cape Town.An initiative of the City of Cape Town‚ the park in Bellville is within walking distance of the Athlone School for the Blind.The design was conceptualised with input from the community‚ blind educators and a mobility expert to determine how those with limited eyesight “read” public spaces.
