Natural Playgrounds

It is time to rethink the concept that one focused piece of natural playground equipment & outdoor carved furniture on a flat plane of grass is good enough. The best solution will focus on what is best for our children; the thing they have lost, what we want them to learn, the behaviors we want to encourage, and the obstacles that our modern way of living has presented to them.

Playgrounds should be at the front line in our efforts to address these concerns. By using natural playground components like outdoor musical instruments, hill slides, mud kitchens and logs we engage our children and help fight the trends in childhood obesity, bullying, absenteeism, injury, attention spans, depression, community engagement, and environmental stewardship.
