Design for Play: A Guide to Creating Successful Play Spaces provides local authorities and other commissioners with advice on how to transform children's play spaces.
The guide demonstrates how to design a play space that can be affordably maintained while giving children and young people the freedom to play creatively as well as experience risk, challenge and excitement. It sets out a new approach, tackles current myths and challenges providers to think creatively about children and young people in the public domain.
Schools minister Andrew Adonis said: "Play space needs to be of high quality and good design to attract children and be a valued part of communities. Design for Play sets out the principles for imaginative, innovative and stimulating play spaces that will enrich the lives of children and young people. We look forward to seeing it inspire commissioners and designers as they work to deliver improved play areas."
