The Circus Playground is a facility that offers the opportunity to practice circus disciplines outdoors in an accessible location 24\/7. It is a new type of facility that provides access to circus disciplines for children, youth, older adults, and people with special needs. Circus disciplines such as balancing, tightrope walking, aerial acrobatics, juggling, and others greatly stimulate physical and cognitive skills and develop the creative potential of those who practice them. Following the core principles and methodology of social circus, we are fully convinced of the enormous potential to create and develop this new type of open-access facility in Sofia\u2019s central park areas.
