Abstract
The Science of Play: How to Build Playgrounds That Enhance Children’s Development explores how to create outdoor play places that support child development. Moreover, the author presents a challenge to those responsible for playgrounds to be bolder in their conceptualization of what these spaces could look like. She does this by presenting examples of outdoor play spaces which the author believes enhance children’s play opportunities and may contribute positively to certain developmental values. The book is primarily intended for designers (architects and landscape designers), artists, urban policy makers, educators, parents, and community members interested in preserving or developing interesting and inspiring places for children to play. While the examples of play places the author believes to be successful are international (mainly in Western Europe and Japan), the primary audience seems to be those who are responsible for developing playgrounds and play spaces in the United States.
