Benefits of natural playgrounds


A natural playground is a playground space designed with natural elements as the main building materials and combined with natural landforms. Unlike our traditional plastic or metal playgrounds, natural playgrounds can bring many benefits to children and families. The following is a detailed explanation of the benefits of natural playgrounds.


Stimulate children's creativity

The diversity of natural elements in the playground can stimulate the development of children's senses such as touch, vision, and smell. It can help children establish a cognition of nature. And there is no fixed way to play in the environment of a natural playground. Children can freely use branches, fallen leaves, stones and other items to create game scenes. This open way of play can cultivate imagination and creativity, while the standardized facilities of traditional playgrounds. Such as fixed slides, swings, and trampolines often limit children's play.

 

Promote children's exercise

Natural playgrounds often include irregular terrain, climbing stumps, balance beams and other facilities. Children need to mobilize their whole body muscles when playing to improve their sense of balance, coordination and limb strength. Children will learn to assess dangers during the adaptation process, thereby cultivating their protection awareness and risk judgment ability, which is essential for growth.

 


Cultivate children's environmental awareness

Our children's long-term contact with the natural play area will gradually make them understand natural phenomena such as plant growth and insect habitats, and develop an interest in and awareness of protecting the ecological environment.
The closeness of children to the natural environment can help relieve children's stress and anxiety. Studies have shown that contact with nature can improve children's emotional regulation and concentration, and reduce behavioral problems such as ADHD. Follow the principle of "nature is a teaching aid" and combine play with ecological education to enable children to learn through play.

 

Ecological sustainability

Our nature's playground uses more renewable materials and local plants to reduce the consumption of industrial products such as plastics and metals, and reduce carbon emissions during production and transportation.

Natural landscapes can improve the ecological function of the site, while providing habitats for birds, insects and other organisms, and improving urban biodiversity.

 

Enhance community cohesion

The environment of the natural playground is more suitable for family interaction. Parents can explore nature with their children and promote parent-child relationships. At the same time, the open space design also facilitates neighborhood communication and enhances the community's social atmosphere.

The above are the benefits of natural playgrounds that I have listed. Natural style playgrounds are not only a space for children to release their nature, but also create sustainable and warm public spaces for the community.
