Liivaväljakuid

Liivaväljakuid, often translated as sand courts or sand fields, refers to outdoor recreational areas primarily covered with sand. These spaces are most commonly found in parks, playgrounds, and sports facilities. Their primary purpose is to provide a safe and enjoyable surface for various activities.

The most common use of liivaväljakuid is for children's play areas. The soft nature of sand offers a forgiving surface for falls, making it ideal for slides, swings, and sandbox installations. Beyond playgrounds, liivaväljakuid are also integral to beach volleyball and pétanque, where the granular surface is essential for the gameplay. In some regions, they might also be used for amateur athletics, such as long jump pits.

The maintenance of liivaväljakuid typically involves regular raking to remove debris, level the surface, and aerate the sand. Depending on usage and environmental factors, sand may need to be replenished or replaced periodically to maintain its quality and safety. The design and depth of liivaväljakuid can vary depending on their intended use, with sports courts often requiring a specific depth and type of sand for optimal performance.
