Play is the child's way of learning about, adapting to and
integrating with his or her environment. In addition to adequate
sports and recreation facilities children need a wide variety of
opportunities, choices and raw materials that they can use as they
see fit for free constructive creative play. Originally published
in 1980, these essays, drawn from papers given at the International
Playgrounds Association's Seventh World Congress, focus on the
social significance of play. However, both the Association and the
book itself are not solely concerned with `playgrounds' in the
formal sense; rather, they are concerned with the wide range of
play environments that are - or should be - available to children.
It is recognised that play opportunities can exist for the child in
and around the home (playrooms, backyards), the school and public
park (traditional, adventure and creative playgrounds), the
institution (day-care centres, hospitals), and the city qua city
(the streets and shopping centres). This work is concerned with all
these environments, considering the developmental aspects of play
in a social context. The varied contributions from researchers and
play leaders from several countries, consider such topics as the
importance of play, development through play, leadership training
and special groups.
