Natural Playground

2. Here are 10 tips for
the perfect nature-
based playground
in your community:

3. Choose an Appropriate
Location:
To create a natural playground, choose
a suitable location. Consider size,
shape, and existing features like trees
or water sources. Make sure the area is
spacious enough for planned activities.

4. Incorporate
Natural
Elements:
Create a natural playground using
nature-inspired elements such as rocks,
logs, sand, and water. These materials
provide countless opportunities for
activities like climbing, digging, and
building, while also being cost-effective.

5. Include Variety
of Activities:
Build a diverse natural playground with
activities for all ages and abilities. From
physical play with balance beams and
swings to creative play with musical
instruments, and educational play with
gardens and wildlife habitats.

6. Use Sustainable
Materials:
Create a sustainable natural
playground using eco-friendly
materials like recycled tires and plastic
bottles. Utilize sustainable wood for
structures and low-maintenance
plants.

7. Provide Shade
Areas:
Create a shaded natural playground to
protect children from the sun. Use
trees or shade sails to cover sections of
the play area and provide ample
seating for breaks.

8. Create Pathways:
In your natural playground design,
create pathways that allow easy
navigation without harming vegetation.
Ensure the pathways are wide enough
for wheelchairs and strollers.

9. Incorporate
Water Features:
Enhance your playground design with
water features for extra fun and a cool-
off option on hot days! Consider adding
small ponds with stepping stones or
streams with bridges to encourage safe
exploration and learning about aquatic
ecosystems.

10. Safety Surfacing:
Ensure safety in your natural playground
design by installing rubber mulch safety
surfaces around elevated structures.
These surfaces absorb impact, creating a
secure environment for kids to play
without slipping. Safety first!

11. Add Gardening
Opportunities:
Incorporate vegetable and flower beds
into the natural playground design to
offer kids gardening opportunities. It's
a fun way to learn about food growth,
enjoy the outdoors, and promote
healthy eating habits!

12. Monitor
Regularly:
Regularly monitoring your natural
playground helps identify and address
potential hazards promptly. Look out
for loose boards and sharp edges to
ensure safety for all.
