Webinar description

One size does not fit all when it comes to successful playground design. New research proves playgrounds to be among the places where children are the most physically active. At an era of physical inactivity threatening health and well-being in our child populations, the need for good design that stimulates all ages to play has never been bigger. The right design solutions are based on thorough child development, science and user based insights. Learn 10 ways to ensure that your playground meet the children's need at their varied development stages, and help ensure fun attraction, retention and development through play.
