This briefing concerns the issue of play spaces in Britain. The British government had recently begun an initiative to support child’s play involving many pounds. The author implores new planners to create sites that encourage creativity and natural play as opposed to more traditional methods based on strength and skill. Ten points to a successful play site are listed:
1) Designed to Enhance its setting
2) Located in the best possible space
3) Close to nature
4) Designed so that children can play in different ways
5) Geared towards encouraging disabled and able bodied children to play together
6) Loved by the community
7) Where children of all ages can play together
8) Designed to enable children to stretch and challenge themselves in every way
9) Maintained for play value and environmental sustainability
10) Flexible and able to evolve as the children grow
Overall, a collaborative approach needs to be taken in order to create the best experience.
