the Free Play Network




Reader Wendy, who gets to design playspaces in Australia, has sent me a lovely list of links, among them one to Britain's Free Play Network (free membership, open to all), whose site is full of information on new playgrounds, inspirational thoughts on how children play and a wonderful photo exhibit, where one is greeted with this manifesto:

"We believe that play environments should be beautiful, individually designed, should please and stimulate the senses, and be sources of delight and surprise. Nothing less will do."

Amen.

[One of the sites featured is Copenhagen's Murergarden, before and after above, listed but unidentified in a previous post.]
