For two and a half million crowns, the unused alley under the bridge near the metro station was transformed into new red-pink colors, and a basketball hoop and skate or BMX furniture were added. Three quarters of the year later, the place became unknown again.

And although visitor regulations state that users must not damage the playground or furniture in any way, the design is hidden under a layer of spray paint a few months after the rebuilding.

They were already visible before the alterations, during implementation and after the opening of the reconstructed subway. Remove the graffiti in these The condition will only result in unnecessary recurring expenses, and due to the street concept of the entire space, the graffiti is unimportant.”
But signs are also circulating outside the skate park. In the surrounding streets, there are stickers on the facades of houses, window sills and doors. In the future, the Vltava Philharmonic site should be here.
