Episode #53: Natural Playgrounds: Is Old New Again?
Manage episode 365575585 series 3384940
One type of playground gaining more popularity may be surprising. Some parks and municipalities go more “natural” with their playground features.
After all, there are so many benefits of being in nature. As parks agencies, we have the opportunity and obligation to encourage those of all ages to reconnect with nature.
Natural playgrounds provide unique, stimulating play places for children to explore and interact with nature. Careful planning and design can create a space that suits the needs of the community's youngest members.
Like any playground, natural playgrounds require maintenance and inspections to ensure they are safe and functional. The planning process should take into account the maintenance team’s resources to inspect and maintain the park.
This episode of the Productive Parks 5-Minute Podcast will give you a primer on natural playgrounds, nature-based playgrounds, and their maintenance requirements.
