School playgrounds are those areas where children hone their physical activities and flourish. Good playgrounds are large enough and are designed in such a manner that children’s play and talent can come to full expression, where children at their will can make a mess, jump, run and hide, where they can whistle, shout and explore the details of this beautiful natural world.
A variety of important factors usually determine the quality of a school playground for the young. These include design specifications of the play area, safety related issues, playing equipment, accessibility of the playground and adult supervision, which is mandatory. There is a captious need to develop an inclination for outdoor physical activities in our children. School playground activities should not become academic and teacher controlled.
