One size does not fit all when it comes to successful playground design. New research proves playgrounds to be places where children are the most physically active. In an era of physical inactivity threatening health and well-being for our children, the need for good play design that stimulates all ages has never been greater. The right design solutions are based on thorough child development, science and user-based insights. Learn 10 ways to ensure that your playground meet children's needs throughout their development, and that it attracts, retains and develops them through play.
