Material Considerations


Playgrounds are places where children thrive; where imaginations expand; where bodies and brains are engaged. They are places of stimulation, socialization, excitement, joy and wonder.    
https://www.earthscapeplay.com/play-theory/


Some key questions to answer when designing a playground are:

1.  What play opportunities can be offered at the Stamford playground? 
2.  What do different ages of children want from the Stamford playground? 

3.  What is the character of design that will fit in with and enhance Stamford?
4.  How can we create an awe-inspiring play space that children and families will thoroughly enjoy want to return to over, and over again?

John Ian Rutherfurd

“The mind grows by self revelation. In "play" the child ascertains what he can do, discovers his possibilities of will and thought by exerting his power spontaneously.   In the "work place" he all to often follows a task prescribed for him by another, and does not reveal his own proclivities and inclinations – but another’s.  In play he reveals his own original power.”     ~   Friedrich Froebel   ~   The Education of Man
