What is a Nature Play Space?
Nature Play Spaces are designed for play with elements of nature that can be manipulated and moved such as sticks, leaves, acorns, and other “loose parts.” Each space is a collaborative community effort, unique to the ecology of the site and the needs of the residents of each neighborhood. Designing, planting, building, and caring for the space is an ongoing creative project that can be a rewarding multi-generational effort.
