Why Are Playgrounds Cool?

Integrated Design

Playgrounds require the expertise of many to develop a safe and fun environment for kids of all ages and their parents and caretakers. The best playgrounds bring together the best in engineering, landscape design, and urban planning.

Play

Play is an important element of the healthy development of children. Playgrounds encourage exercise, interaction, and creativity.

Community

Playgrounds and parks are important resources to communities, bringing together families and friends. A child’s connection to nature and the environment often starts with their first experience at a park, nurturing respect for the planet and others.
