The quality of a child’s play environment sets the stage for a lifetime of passion, interest and wonder since it is through play that children build their first connections to the natural world.
The Children at Play Network explores how to connect children to the natural world by creating amazing places to play outdoors. We are building a network of regional expertise that can focus on incremental and ongoing support for improving outdoor play environments.
Mission
The Children at Play Network facilitates the creation of amazing outdoor play environments that connect children with nature for life.
Vision
The Children at Play Network will help whole communities create outdoor play environments so that all children have healthy opportunities to explore their natural world. Through play we will create the next generation of environmental stewards.
