Adventure playgrounds were dynamic, nature play spaces where children could explore, create, imagine and learn in their own way. They contained a variety of materials and loose parts such as boards, tires, tape and cardboard that children used to build, demolish and assemble. This self-directed play is vital to cognitive, emotional and social development.

Adventure playgrounds are unlike the traditional playgrounds commonly found in City parks.
