Adventure playgrounds?
[email protected]
Hi!
Is anyone familiar with these? Adventure playgrounds are parks where kids
can go to be creative and build with raw materials, dig tunnels, wade in water,
or play with animals, etc...with little or no supervision. They sound like an
unschooling dream! If I ever become a millionaire, I'd love to open one of
these. They seem to be more common in Europe and Australia and they sound so
cool! I first ran across the term in an old interview with John Holt ( <A HREF="http://www.rationalreview.com/archive/stevetrinward/stevetrinward042103.html">On
teaching your own and other heresies by Steve Trinward</A> or <A HREF="http://www.rationalreview.com/archive/stevetrinward/stevetrinward042103.html)">
http://www.rationalreview.com/archive/stevetrinward/stevetrinward042103.html)</A> and then did a little
research on my own. Here's a few links:
