Playgrounds

Playgrounds are specialized areas within landscape architecture that consider various factors like safety, accessibility, inclusivity, age-appropriateness, and nature engagement. Modern playground design also includes elements to support children’s physical and cognitive development, such as integrating natural environmental aspects and promoting imaginative play. There’s been a recent shift towards universal design in playgrounds, incorporating components like wheelchair-accessible swing sets and play structures, sensory-rich components for autistic children, and safety features for visually impaired children.
