Episode 19 – Morgan Leichter-Saxby - Play:Ground – The roles children play in Adventure Playgrounds
Update: 2020-10-05
Description
For decades, Adventure Playgrounds have provided platforms for children to act out those things ‘playing’ on their minds. Play in unstructured environments, were children are asked to make their own rules, challenge themselves, develop the community themselves allows children to mentally process big feelings, worries, concerns and on a subconscious level, make sense of the world around them.
The children who visit Play:Ground, ‘a big grassy square full of junk’ in New York City have an opportunity to build, construct, create and PLAY in a landscape that allows them freedom to explore both the physical and emotional world.
“Violence in the adult world leads children, quite properly, to play at violence. How else can they prepare themselves emotionally, intellectually, and physically for reality?” Peter Gray
