This iconic trailer can be transported between different sites, including playgrounds, commercial centers, empty city squares, schools, or any other place that is suitable for activities and gatherings. The trailer offers the opportunity to create a temporary place for relaxation, playing and any other type of activity, including art and study areas, information booth and distribution of leaflets, lending books and games, a stage for musical performances, theater, lectures and more. This unique project was developed for children in Haredi (ultra-orthodox) neighborhoods in central Jerusalem. In these neighborhoods there is a severe lack of parks and playgrounds on the one hand and on the other hand a large number of children in public spaces. The cart was designed for Bukharian-Geula Community Administration as part of "Taasu Makom" (Placemaking project), a joint initiative of Eden Company, Jerusalem Municipality Community Administration and in cooperation with the Municipality Operations Administration.
