Discoverd! A Fantastic Playground Blog




Recently Hap Parker turned me on to the most incredible Blog by Arcady http://playgrounddesigns.blogspot.com/

She has collected the best examples of creative playgrounds that I have seen anywhere.  After fifty years of doing playground design I thought I knew most of the great examples and references.  I was amazed at the wonderful and noteworthy information she has accumulated on her blog.  Beyond incredible research her commentaries are insightful, full of information and very entertaining.  

I am so grateful to Hap for making this introduction.  Now I can send her all of the historical material I’ve collected and not have to post it here on Playful Planet and I can focus on the aspect of this project that is most intriguing to me: Community Supported Play Sculpture.

This is what we are talking about!









These are some examples of how playful art can not only be great fun and can also motivate new positive behavior.  Imagine how terrific it would be if we could watch a web-cam at these location!
