I’ve been thinking about why I’m discontent with today’s playgrounds. When I want to explore and idea I often make up a list. Here’s one that looks at this idea:
Playgrounds |
Play |
Fixed | Moving |
Neat | Messy |
Exciting | Engaging |
Play on | Play in |
Expensive | Free |
Park or schoolyard | Anywhere |
Safe | Challenging |
Created by adults | Created by players |
Drive to | Here and now |
Manufactured | Emergent |
Age appropriate | Inappropriate |
