There's a case for making playgrounds riskier.

The stereotypical modern playground - with its bright colors and rubberized flooring - is designed to be clean, safe, and lawsuit-proof. But that isn't necessarily the best design for kids.
US playground designers spent decades figuring out how to minimize risk: reducing heights, softening surfaces, and limiting loose parts. But now, some are experimenting with creating risk. A growing body of research has found that risky outdoor play is a key part of children’s health, promoting social interactions, creativity, problem-solving, and resilience.
Some communities are even experimenting with “adventure playgrounds,” a format with origins in World War II Denmark, where bomb sites became impromptu playgrounds. Filled with props like nails, hammers, saws, paint, tires, and wood planks, these spaces look more like junkyards than play spaces - and parents are often kept outside of the playground while children are chaperoned by staff. Now, that question of keeping children safe versus keeping children engaged is at the heart of a big debate in playground design.

"If presented with an overly safe space, they end up seeking thrills and danger that the design didn't account for." This is the exact reason we had competitions for who could jump off the swing from the highest point

In the Netherlands, "natural playgrounds" have started sprouting recently. They're essentially small pieces of land, landscaped with small hills, water with stepping stones in them, small wooden bridges, winding paths, and a funicular. They're all about getting kids to go on adventures and figure it out themselves, rather than creating a fixed playground. They're also esthetically really pleasing as they're a small piece of nature.

I made a comment that said how cool it would be to bring a freind or two (when you're a little more grown, like teenager age) and get into some casual roleplay. This sounds even better, being more natural and such. I remember in middle school I had the best time playing in the woods behind my house, I even made a little roof out of sticks that usually held together pretty well, unless there was a big storm or something. My two best freinds and I would go nuts designing various role playing scenarios in the huge field at our school. I feel like a large (like the size of a supersize Walmart parking lot huge, I mean *mega*) woodsy area dedicated to older kids (teens) to explore would be great, also maybe with some of the stuff the adventure playgrounds have, wood nails tires and such. This was a long comment, but I just feel like this might be a cool idea

Meme Man then probably make shoes mandatory, or have kids collect rusty nails that can be exchanged for more tools or paint. Of course, have a supervisor in the area but they are only allowed to interfere if a kid asks a question or if someone gets hurt. Or make it a free ‘membership’ thing with a tag. New people will have to watch a short PSA on playground manners and potential hazards like ‘don’t whack each other with hammers, be careful of random rusty nails, don’t push in the build areas, paint is not food’ and other basic common rules. And maybe gloves won’t be a bad idea. I’ve been nicked by one too many sharp edges of the cap of an Apple cider.

That's not how it works psychologically. Babies who haven't seen a snake before won't have any idea of it's danger and will have no fear touching it. Babies will readily walk off of a simulated cliff (the glass table experiment) without knowing that falling is dangerous. Sense of danger is a conditioned response. One famous psychological experiment conditioned a baby to be scared of bunnies by associating it with a loud noise. The baby grew up fearing rabbits.

Next to my school there was this field that we called “paddock” and we went out to it every day for an hour. In paddock there was a whole bunch of stuff; tires, planks, crates, trees, random bits of broken pottery, tarps, and branches. The kids could build whatever they wanted like dens and obstacle courses and our class even came up with a system for money, the broken pottery shards, the cooler the shard, the more valuable. Sometimes kids would bring stuff from home, like old bedsheets, and we’d make hammocks out of them. It was a really fun experience and I 100 percent recommend that schools have some form of adventure playgrounds.

At my elementary school we had a safe playground, but right next to it was a stretch of trees that was basically woods to small children. Teachers would tell us over and over to not play in the trees because it was dangerous in there, but you would just say "ok" and then go in when their back was turned. I remember one day me and my friends were building a den out of branches in the bushes and we found old barbed wire fence from old farmland, and from then on I was more cautious of what could be hidden by undergrowth and learned how to tell when stuff like that was hidden somewhere. No one got so much as poked by the literal barbed wire because of our exploration in the woods, but plenty of kids got hurt and even broke bones falling off of the safe playground equipment. It's interesting that I now get way too nervous when trying to climb something- something the safe playground was supposed to provide- but I'm very good at navigating woodsy and overgrown terrain.

We collected drift wood, and we yanked the rusty nails out of the wood and used them to re hammer into the wood. We only got to like a foot high fence sort of thing but it was still fun. We had people on different stations as well. Some pulling the nails out, others hammering, some people on collection, and another person on pounding down the sand so it was hard. It was much better than any playground I have been to.

I'm turning 18 this month, and I can sagely say that if I had an adventure playground near me, *my computer would get a lot less use.* Normal playgrounds are only fun when you're a certain age, and with other people. Plus, risk is fun, and I remember when I was younger, doing something risky successfully was extremely fun! Like jumping off the swing as high as you could go, then watching your friend do it and twisting his ankle in the process. There was also running up slides, and once that got too easy, climbing the long tube ones, just for someone to unexpectedly come down it, sweeping you off your feet, and sliding all the way down. When you put a kid in a 0 risk environment, they'll attempt to add back as much risk as possible, and then some. But give a kid something obviously dangerous, and they'll attempt to reduce it

The reason why kids are so addicted to video games is because parents these days are overprotective and won't let them do or play anything outside that can even be remotely dangerous that the kids want to do or play. If parents were less overprotective and let kids play or do things outside that are dangerous, kids would not be so addicted

Not to mention, even if kids do wanna go outside, everyone lives in suburban housing zones that are a 20 minute drive at least from anything. Let alone anything interesting a kid would want to go to. Car-dependent cities results in kids going outside a whole lot less often.. especially when that outside is either a barren suburban housing zone or miles of stroads, parking lots and dollar stores.

Counterpoint: I feel like these riskier playgrounds would exclude a lot of kids with disabilities. A large part of the fun of a playground is interacting with other kids and creating imaginary games that turn the play structure into a castle or pirate ship. That’s why families with jungle gyms still visit local parks. It’s also really important for kids to exposed to people who are different from them early on to build tolerance, and a HUGE part of that is normalizing disability. Someone once brought up the fact that playgrounds designed with disabled kids in mind are boring to other kids because they’re not “challenging,” but the thing is, you can’t design a challenge that works for every kid. If it’s challenging for a five-year-old, a ten-year-old will be bored to tears, and if it’s challenging for a ten-year-old, a five-year-old has no hope of completing it. Most playgrounds are designed to challenge little kids’ motor skills rather than those of older children, so inclusivity doesn’t really lose anything. Also, there’s lots of other ways for kids to take risks that don’t make a public park’s play area inaccessible for disabled kids, which are a way larger percent of the population than people realize. Take them biking, rock climbing, hiking, ice skating, sky’s the limit.

It was a great time to be alive. Oh, and our parents never knew where we were or what we were doing.

I definitely feel like allowing children to explore and adventure into a more wild area is more appealing to the children themselves than safe playgrounds, where there was basically nothing to do.

I go to Greece often with my family as that is my motherland. One of my most fond memories as a kid, even now when we go back, is visiting this zoo in the middle of some woods by my home town. Amongst those woods is a rock, which has a glossy, low-friction surface which makes it easy to slide down. Yes... it's a rock slide, and you wouldn't believe the HOURS my cousins and I would spend on and around that rock. What safety is around there? Absolutely nothing. And that's the beauty of being a kid; you don't care. You don't care about risk, danger, hazards, death. You just find whatever you can, be it a branch, an old can of beans, or some random slippery rock in the middle of some woods in Greece, and have fun. Society is starting to pull that away from kids, and it's really sad to think about.

Parents and other authorities tend to forget that children weren't always raised in clean, injury-free environments. We're a social, curious, and constantly inventive species that had thrived on the concept of taking risks for thousands, millions of years. Kids are an even greater form of that due to their limited experience, so why not at least entertain it in a controlled environment that puts them in charge? Even if they get a minor injury, it could grow to be a valuable memory and lesson. I don't see how it's a job either when the kid is willing and excited to craft with no monetary incentive, almost like not every motive revolves around capital.

There could also be a middle-ground with hard hats and a separate zone for very young kids. And there should also be a traditional playground nearby so it isn't the only option. But you could also do obstacle courses, gym elements (ie metal or plastic beams a foot off the ground), that kind of thing. More risk and more fun than a normal playground, but less than giving kids sharp and heavy objects with which to beat each other. Relatedly, plastic playgrounds are way more accessible to disabled kids (though usual not to kids using wheelchairs or walkers)

When I was like nine they redid all the playgrounds in my town, including the school ones, and it was so boring. They spent so much money on it, had it closed off for at least six months and at the end all we wanted was for it to be turned back again. It used be a kind of mix between regular and risky playground and it was great and they just got rid of it all.

It's just like the slides. Back In the day there weren't those plastic slides. Only high polished metal ones. Where you had to calculate the speed in relation to the sun's position to determine if you wanted to be rare, medium rare or well done when you arrived at the bottom of the slide

I remember around the 90s when i was a kid, our backyard was full of tools and it was the best moments of my childhood. I mix a lot of toxic powders (like cement and glue), but i knew those were toxic, and was careful in handling it. I agree with these type of adventure playgrounds. They allow children to use their creativity and logic

@corylahey615 2 жыл бұрын

One time a few of my friends and I in the winter took some of those little plastic shovels they give the kids for some reason in school and dug out an entire snowbank that the plow had made. 2 enterances, a slide in the top, and 2 deep caverns that you could lay down in. It was fun, soundproof too. Way more fun than I've ever had on my schools swings or something.

I remember when at my local park had construction going on, and for some reason in like 1998-1999 ish, they didn't fence off all the stuff, so we played in the concrete tubes and caterpillar diggers and basically everything we were NOT supposed to play on.😂 Also, before they fenced off the pond as a "sensitive natural area" we played in the awful swampy pond and turned rocks over and hunted for leeches.

So true! When I was a kid, playgrounds weren't as interesting for me as my grandparents' summer house where I could build things and explore the nature around me. Yes, it did involve some splinters and accidentally hitting my fingers with a hammer (maybe a few times), but it was SO worth it!

@tristanmoller9498 2 жыл бұрын

The main fear might be that parents can’t afford to bring their kids to the doctor or the hospital. When I used to play and it was getting risky and someone let my parents know, they just calmly answered: “If something happens, we’ll bring him to the doctor”. But I live in Europe so there’s that.

@lilybaker732 2 ай бұрын

That’s a good point. Also while many of the lawsuits are spurious, the reason many injury suits happen are to cover medical bills. So, that’s a big part of it. Even if the injury was not actually the playground/school’s fault, parents will sue if they are slapped with a big medical bill because it’s often the easiest way to pay it - or sometimes the only way they can afford it.

I am German and 75 years old. - Please excuse my bad english We used to play in the ruins of WWII as kids in the 50's. We built knight's castles , climbed tall trees or we played "cowboys and Indians". We had homemade bows and arrows, slingshots and swords, that we used to fight against each other. There were minor injuries, but not a serious injury in my entire childhood. There was also a small playground in our town, but it was so boring that we never went to it. Our parents didn't know where we hung around all day... And it was thrilling and just wonderful.
