Children's Play in Stocksbridge Housing Areas - how can we make the area around the home more supportive of children's needs Use
the menu to the right to view the "ideas
sheets" by Catherine Highham ©2004.
The
sheets have been prepared to show how planning and
designing for children's play is about more than
providing playgrounds and equipment. It is about
creating places that children like and where they
feel happy and safe. Providing
opportunities for children to play near the home is
about making the environment around the home
sufficiently fascinating and supportive so that
children want to use it as a play resource and so
can play safely. For
more about the needs of children as users of
greenspace and how we could design for them, see
also the webpages on Children's
Play in Housing
areas
by Anne Beer. For
information about involving children in the planning
process see: Child
