The Land: An Adventure Playground
The Land, so named by the children who use it, is an adventure playground in
North Wales, one of hundreds of such playgrounds in the United Kingdom and
Europe. The United States has only around ten adventure playgrounds, which
include adult play workers who manage hazards while the children themselves
learn to manage their own risks. Children gain a sense of accomplishment and
empowerment while having fun using cast off items and a variety of tools, with
permission to play freely with the materials at hand.
