Participation and leisure
Living environment
The map below shows all organisations that are active in the neighbourhood. Not only are the sub-municipality Feijenoord and the housing corporation Vestia active participants in the neighbourhood, there is high number of organisations active varying from religious groups to artists initiatives.
The second map on this page indicates the public space in the neighbourhood. Some special features in the public space of the Afrikaanderwijk are the dyke which runs from the north to the east-border of the neighbourhood. This dyke has a special landscape quality but at the same time causes a fragmentation of the neighbourhood with its urban surroundings. The Afrikaanderwijk is located deeper than the other side of the dyke, for it is an inner-dyke area. The second specific public space in the neighbourhood is the Afrikaanderplein. This is the largest open square in the whole of Rotterdam-South. Because of complaints on noise and abolition the municipality places a gate around the park-area of the square. Also the design of the square has not been a success according to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The square which was designed as a field for events is not flexible for other uses. Therefore it has become an empty and desolate public space. The other public spaces in the neighbourhood mostly consist out of semi-private spaces which can be closed off, located within the building blocks. In general a large amount of the public space in the neighbourhood has over time become more private than public space. Most of these transformations are due to a high feeling of unsafety and the results of the necessity of protecting the space against violence and unwished use. t

Also the map indicates where leisure activities are found in the neighbourhood. Here the variety is however missing. The leisure in this area is mostly found in the form of sports fields. The only two other important leisure locations are ‘Het Gemaal op Zuid’ consisting out of an exhibition space and the neighbourhood kitchen. The second location is the Botanic garden, which is located of the Afrikaander square. Both of these places are at the same time important and well-known local actors at the scale of the neighbourhood.
