The city of Maribor is increasingly focusing on organizing public spaces for sports, play, and social interaction. There are already around 40 public playgrounds available across all municipal districts and local communities, with two new or renovated playgrounds planned this year. The municipality has faced challenges such as vandalism but continues to expand these areas with urban equipment and greenery. Most outdoor playgrounds at elementary schools are accessible to the general public outside school hours, although some have specific usage schedules or partial restrictions due to safety concerns. The mayor has encouraged school principals to explore options for broader access to school grounds after school hours, weekends, and holidays.
