WHY, WHO, AND WHAT
How do you start? Knowing you
want to create a natural play
area, ask the questions "why,"
"who," and "what" this looks
like to start your plan. Having a
vision of your natural playscape
area should be considered
throughout the planning and
design process as well as
managing your area.
YOUR DREAM PLAYSCAPE
»
Creating a vision is essential to success when developing a
natural playscape.
»
Think about providing a place to play via the replacement of old,
dangerous, and/or traditional equipment on a limited budget.
»
Your natural play area should
provide a unique, engaging
experience.
»
Create an identity of the region,
state park, or state recreation
area, etc.
»
Consider becoming a
destination to stimulate other
existing park amenities.
