NatureGrounds
NatureGrounds is a comprehensive program that provides best practice guidelines for creating play environments that integrate manufactured play equipment and the living landscape. Its goal is to ignite a dramatic shift in the standard playground development process by deliberately designing nature back into children’s lives, not only to benefit children’s play but also to engage communities in working together to create richer play experiences for all users
