Playgrounds are more than just outdoor spaces - they play a critical role in children's well-being and development. This book invites you to re-examine your school playground as a crucial part of learning, well-being, and development. Research findings, commentary, and personal experiences combine with insights from teachers, principals, parents, and students to explore the importance of positive play experiences.

A range of recommendations is also made for reviewing and developing schools' outdoor play spaces. With a sense of urgency, this book calls for recognition of positive play experiences as invaluable to children's education. It provides important insights to inform decision-making and will be an essential resource for all stakeholders involved in ensuring children participate and learn during school break times.
