Having fun together as a family is part of Filipino culture. An outdoor park for families was created at Camp Goducate, Iloilo (see blog, April 23). Now Camp Goducate has created an indoor park for families.
The facilities in the indoor park provide for exciting and thrilling sensory games, wall climbing, spider climbs, net tunnelling, basketball, archery, board games, table tennis, billiards. There are also trampolines, swings, slides, and sand boxes. The play structures are large enough for adults or to accommodate a family. For example, the board for snakes and ladders is 15x larger than the usual size, so the game is played standing up rather than sitting down.
Healthy competition and team building are what this park aims to achieve by offering well-structured relays for family groups. The relay starts with sensory games, then board games, basketball, archery, net tunneling, and finally wall climbing. In this way family members are encouraged to plan, strategize, and solve difficulties together during the competition.
The park will open to the public as soon as the lockdown due to the Covid-10 epidemic is lifted.
