Playground Design

Playground Design

Course info

Children learn more from play than they do from school. It is crucial to their social, physical and intellectual development. Anyone (parent or landscaper) who develops a landscape that is to be used by children has a responsibility to understand the full implications of what they are creating.  This course includes playground philosophy, design of play structures (for function & safety), materials selection, community participation and park design.  It would be beneficial for parks mangers or landscape designers.
