The first location is the “Childhood Courtyard” on the street. Gamarnica, 20/1 in the Soviet district - immediately set the bar high. A total of 60 units of new equipment are installed here.

Nearby is a fenced court with a safe surface for mini-football. Residents of the microdistrict actively participate in the improvement of yard areas, the creation of flower beds, flower beds and front gardens.

- The new courtyard was very pleased, before there were only a few pieces of gaming equipment, and now - for every taste. However, I would like even more swings for the youngest, Diana, the mother of one-year-old Kira, shared her impressions.

O. Korzun instructed to place several more children’s swings on the site until October 1.

The multifunctional space "Movement Park "Smile Territory" presented the Zavodskaya district in the courtyard of houses No. 29, 33, 41 and 45 on Gerasimenko Street. In addition to the gaming complex, which was installed during the implementation of the civic initiative of local residents, there are sports and workout venues, mini trampolines and even bungee. The area is equipped with video surveillance. Guys are thrilled.

For the courtyard "Merry notes" on the street Gritsevets, 1 in the Partizan district chose musical themes. The central part is occupied by a stage with real musical instruments - a piano, guitar and a Bayan. Even the benches here are musical: with the help of QR codes you can listen to music. Each bench is a separate musical composition. But the children's play complex is made in the form of a MAZ car. There are also volleyball and mini-football courts, bars, street simulators, as well as intellectual games for the youngest: tics-toe, all sorts of puzzles.

"Cosmodrome of childhood" is located in the Leninsky district, Rokossovsky Avenue, 17/2. At the entrance, guests are greeted by the figures of young astronauts, and the entire playing area is designed in this theme. Here, each bench is a planet of the solar system, with illustrations and information about it. There is also a photo zone dedicated to the Year of the Belarusian woman, a workout platform, popular swing-nests, bars and growth meters.

Courtyard of houses on the street. Asanalieva, 6/1 and 6/2 in the Oktyabrsky district is called "Together". And the truth - here next to each other are several recreation areas for people with a variety of interests. Round tables for fans of board and intellectual games, benches with built-in checkerboards, pergolas with benches-swings, sandboxes for children with limited mobility and even an outlandish musical instrument - a glucophone. On sun loungers in the center of the courtyard, you can sunbathe in the afternoon, and in the evenings admire the stars. Near each entrance, benches have been replaced, and locals plant flowers, competing in the colorfulness of their front gardens.

Because the yard is on the street. Rafieva, 15 in the Moscow district is quite small, it was decided to take part of the site to the wasteland behind the house. Modern children's play and sports equipment in the theme of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is installed here, so children can learn safety rules. In the yard replaced asphalt concrete covering, pedestrian connections. Local residents are directly involved in the improvement of the yard: plant flowers, made fences for front gardens in the general style.

- Our house is almost 40 years old, and all these years the residents take care of the yard. We participate together in Saturday nights, paint benches and fences, build birdhouses and feeders, all the plants in the yard are planted by our tenants: the elderly, and children, and mothers with many children, said Zoya Ermantovich, the senior on the entrance.

In the Frunze district in the courtyard on the street. Yakubovsky playground for the youngest is designed in the sea style. And the canopies above the benches add up to the word "mother." For older children, a sports ground with all kinds of climbing rooms, swings and turnstile is equipped. Both young residents of the surrounding houses and students of the 157th secondary school, which is located next door, enjoy spending time here.

Belarusian attractions and brands are dedicated to the site in the Central district, on the street. 12 Zaslavskaya. Carousel - in the form of a dranik with sour cream, the gaming complex is a domestic car, the benches-swings are made in the national style. There is a football and basketball court "two in one", street simulators, bars, rope town and all sorts of swings. And also Twister and even the good old classics.

- The site is in great demand among all generations of residents: children, youth, older generation. Our house is huge, 18 entrances, so it is always crowded here, a local resident of Oksana shared her impressions.

The evaluation of competitive facilities was carried out according to several criteria: the participation of the population in the improvement of the local area, the staffing of children's playgrounds and sports grounds with equipment, technical serviceability and aesthetic attractiveness, the state of the facade of a residential building, entrance groups, porches, loggias and balconies, the state of container platforms, asphalt and tiled pavements of passages, sidewalks, pedestrian paths, the content of flora and more.

- Holding a competition for the best courtyard on the eve of the City Day is a good tradition of the Belarusian capital. In Minsk, much attention is paid to improvement, the creation of new recreation areas. And, of course, it is of fundamental importance to us how comfortable people feel in those locations where they spend their free time – yard areas at the place of residence. And also to have the order that is inherent in our country as a whole. It is gratifying that residents take part in the floral decoration of their yards, landscaping, bringing the territory in order. I would like to thank Minsk residents for such indifference to their city, said O. Korzun.

The winners of the competition will be announced on City Day.
